Iran Rejects US Peace Proposal, Outlines Five Conditions to End War: State Media

TEHRAN: Iran has rejected a US proposal aimed at ending the ongoing war, with state media citing a senior political‑security official on Wednesday that Tehran responded negatively and instead outlined a set of conditions for a ceasefire.

Iran has rejected a US proposal to end the ongoing conflict, a senior political-security official said. “Iran has responded negatively” to the proposal, the outlet quoted the official as saying, adding that any end to hostilities would occur only “on Tehran’s own terms and timeline.”

The official outlined Tehran’s conditions for any cessation of hostilities, saying the country will only act on its own terms and timeline. Iran will end the war at a time of its own choosing, but only if its conditions are fully met. The official emphasised that Tehran will not allow US President Donald Trump or any external party to dictate the timing of the war’s conclusion.

The official stated that Iran demands an immediate end to aggression by the enemy and calls for concrete guarantees to prevent any recurrence of conflict in the future. Tehran also seeks clear determination and the guaranteed payment of war damages and compensation, underlining its insistence on accountability.

Furthermore, Iran demands a comprehensive end to the war across all fronts, including actions against all resistance groups, state media reported. The country also insists on recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz as its natural and legal right, it added in a post on X.
