Iran has outlined its conditions to end the war after rejecting the 15‑point peace plan put forward by Donald Trump.
On Monday, Trump said “very good and productive” conversations with Iran had taken place, adding that the U.S. Department of Defense would “postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.”
Iran later denied those claims.
Speaking in Memphis, Trump said the conversations had begun in the days prior. “They started last night, a little bit, the night before that. I think they’re very good. They want peace. They have agreed they won’t have a nuclear weapon. But we’ll see,” he said, according to LADBible.
However, Iran’s state news agency Fars reported that no contact had taken place, while Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf insisted there had been “no negotiations.”
Trump also warned that Iran had “one more opportunity to end its threats to America and our allies,” adding that the U.S. “mean[s] business.”
Fars reiterated on Telegram that Iranian officials had emphasized there would be no end to the war — nor a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz — unless the U.S. fully withdrew, evacuated its regional bases, paid compensation, and provided guarantees against future aggression.
Iran rejects Trump’s peace plan
Both sides continue to present conflicting accounts of recent developments. According to CBS News, Iran has rejected Trump’s 15‑point peace plan, reportedly accusing him of “negotiating with himself.”
The U.S. proposal is said to include a 30‑day ceasefire, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, limits on Iran’s missile program, and halting support for groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas.
Those terms now appear to have been dismissed by Tehran, which has instead outlined its own conditions.
Iran’s conditions to end the war
Speaking to Press TV, a senior Iranian official listed five demands:
- A complete halt to what he described as “aggression and assassinations” by “the enemy.”
- The creation of concrete mechanisms to ensure the war cannot be reimposed on Iran.
- Financial guarantees to secure compensation for damage caused during the conflict.
- An end to fighting on all fronts, including among all resistance groups involved.
- Recognition of Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.
According to reports, the official said Tehran would continue to “inflict heavy blows” until its demands are met, and that a ceasefire would only be possible once those conditions are accepted.
“No negotiations will be held prior to that,” he stressed, adding that Iran’s defensive operations would continue until its requirements are fulfilled. As quoted by Press TV:
“The end of the war will occur when Iran decides it should end, not when Trump envisions its conclusion.”
