Iran details five conditions to end war after rejecting Donald Trump's 15-point peace plan

Iran has rejected the 15-point peace plan put forward by US President Donald Trump, calling the proposal "excessive."

Per CBS News, this rejection comes as both countries continue to offer conflicting accounts about the status of peace negotiations. Trump has insisted that the talks are progressing, describing them as "very good and productive," even claiming that Iran had sent him a significant gift.

However, Iran has accused Trump of "negotiating with himself" and sending "backstabbing" emissaries.

According to the US plan, key conditions include a 30-day ceasefire, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, limitations on Iran's missile capabilities, and an end to Iran's support for regional groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. Iran, however, has firmly rejected these terms, and instead, outlined its own conditions for peace.

Iran's five conditions for peace

A senior Iranian official, speaking to Press TV, outlined five conditions that Tehran requires before agreeing to end the war:

A complete halt to "aggression and assassinations" by the enemy.

The establishment of mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reinstated on Iran.

Clear guarantees for the payment of war damages and reparations.

The conclusion of the war across all fronts, including for all resistance groups involved.

Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz must be recognized, and this is seen as a guarantee for the implementation of the other party's commitments.

The official emphasized that Tehran would continue to "inflict heavy blows" on the enemy until its demands are met and reiterated that any ceasefire would only be considered if all of Iran's conditions were accepted.

No negotiations until conditions are met

The official also made it clear that no negotiations would take place before Iran's terms were met, stating via BBC News, "No negotiations will be held prior to that." Iran insisted that the war would end when it decided, not according to Trump's timeline or vision.

The ongoing conflict has already led to over 3,000 Iranian casualties, and the situation remains tense as both sides continue to push their demands.
