Iran Rejects US Proposal To End War, Lays Out Its Own Conditions: Iranian Media

Iran’s PressTV reported on Wednesday that Tehran has rejected the Trump administration’s 15-point proposal to end the war the US and Israel launched on February 28 and laid out its own conditions to end the conflict.

“Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met,” an unnamed Iranian official told PressTV. The official added that the US proposal includes demands that are “excessive” considering the situation on the battlefield.

The official pointed to the fact that Iran has been attacked twice during previous negotiations with the US, suggesting the current US push for diplomacy could be a deception. Publicly, Iranian officials have denied President Trump’s claims that the US and Iran have held negotiations and have said they don’t seek a ceasefire.

The official speaking to PressTV said Iran laid out five conditions to end the war, which include:

• A complete halt to “aggression and assassinations” by the enemy.
• The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic.
• Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations.
• The end of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region (which includes an end to Israel’s attack on Lebanon)
• Iran’s exercise of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz is and will remain Iran’s natural and legal right, and it constitutes a guarantee for the implementation of the other party’s commitments, and must be recognized.
