Iran’s security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, called on the United States to “surrender” to Tehran’s seven conditions for ending the war. He also accused the U.S. of manufacturing “fake news about imaginary negotiations.” Tehran has presented Washington with the conditions as prerequisites for peace talks.
The seven demands, as reported by Al Jazeera, include ending military and hostile actions on all fronts, particularly in Lebanon; releasing billions of dollars in frozen Iranian funds; and ending the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports. Iran also wants Washington to stop interfering in its internal affairs, end cooperation with what it calls “opponents of our revolution,” halt all U.S. attacks on Iranian territory, and lift economic sanctions.
U.S. President Donald Trump said at the White House that there was “positive momentum” toward ending the war with Iran. He also said further attacks on the country were “quite unlikely.”
The Iranian government’s proposal came one day after the latest round of negotiations between Washington and Tehran concluded. The talks were mediated by the governments of Qatar and Pakistan. During the discussions, Iran presented a seven-point plan to end the conflict and called for the reopening of a strategic passage through which about 20% of the world’s oil is transported.
