Iranian media, quoting a high-ranking Iranian security and political official, confirmed that Tehran has set six basic conditions for ending the war within the new strategic legal framework.
A senior Iranian security and political official said: "What Iran is currently implementing in its defensive war is a plan that it prepared a few months ago."
He added: "Iran is implementing the pre-prepared plan step by step and with great strategic patience. After destroying the enemy's air defense infrastructure, Iran has gained complete control over its airspace. With this military control that Iran has achieved, it sees no hope of an imminent ceasefire."
He stressed that “Iran intends to continue its policy of punishing the aggressor until it teaches the American, Zionist, and Trump aggression a historic lesson,” noting that some regional parties and mediators had presented proposals to Tehran to stop the war, but Iran had set conditions that must be taken seriously.
The Iranian security official explained that Tehran had set six basic conditions for ending the war within the new strategic legal framework.
He said: “Tehran’s demands are, firstly, to ensure that the war will not be repeated, secondly, to close the American military bases in the region, thirdly, to repel the aggression and pay compensation to Iran, and fourthly, to end the war on all fronts in the region.”
He noted that "Iran's fifth demand is the implementation of a new legal system for the Strait of Hormuz, and the sixth demand is the trial and extradition of media outlets hostile to Iran."
Earlier, Axios reported, citing sources, that the administration of US President Donald Trump was in preliminary discussions about the next phase and format of peace talks with Iran.
Axios quoted a US official as saying that "a deal to end the war must include reopening the Strait of Hormuz, addressing Iran's stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, and establishing a long-term agreement on its nuclear program, ballistic missiles, and support for its proxies in the region."
Another US official indicated that "there may be room for negotiation regarding the return of frozen assets to Iran," but that "demanding compensation is out of the question."
There has been no direct contact between the United States and Iran in recent days, although Egypt, Qatar and the United Kingdom have relayed messages between them, according to a U.S. official and two sources familiar with the matter.
