Iran has rejected a U.S. proposal to end the war, insisting any ceasefire will occur only on its own terms and timeline, according to a senior political-security official speaking to state-run Press TV on Wednesday.
The official said Tehran had dismissed the U.S. initiative, stressing that an end to what it described as an “imposed war” would depend solely on conditions set by the Islamic Republic.
Iran has instead presented its own framework for ending the conflict, outlining five key conditions. These include a complete halt to what it called “aggression and assassinations.”
Tehran also demanded the establishment of concrete mechanisms to prevent the war from being reimposed, alongside clearly defined and guaranteed payments of damages and reparations.
Further conditions include ending hostilities across all fronts and among all “resistance groups” operating throughout the region.
The official additionally emphasised the need for international recognition and guarantees of Iran’s sovereign right to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. had earlier submitted a 15-point plan aimed at resolving the conflict, according to a report published on Tuesday.
The New York Times, citing two officials briefed on the diplomacy, said the proposal was delivered via Pakistan and outlined steps addressing Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programmes, as well as maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz.
