Gold Financial reports that on March 25, according to Press TV, a news channel controlled by the Iranian government, Iranian officials issued a statement. They mentioned that Iran has rejected the U.S. proposal and insists that the war will only end on Iran’s terms and timeline. An official familiar with the Iranian government details stated that Iran will not allow Trump to decide when the war ends. He also emphasized Tehran’s continued defense and determination to inflict “heavy blows” on enemies until its demands are met. The official outlined five specific conditions for Iran to agree to end the war, including: 1. Fully stopping enemy “aggression and assassination” actions. 2. Establishing a concrete mechanism to ensure that war is not imposed on Iran again. 3. Guaranteeing and clearly defining compensation and repair costs for war damages. 4. Ending the war across all fronts and within all resistance organizations involved in the region. 5. The international community recognizing and safeguarding Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has conveyed to all well-intentioned mediators that a ceasefire is conditional upon acceptance of all its terms. The official emphasized, “No negotiations will take place before this,” and reiterated that Iran’s defensive actions will continue until the above conditions are met. (Jin10)
