Iran says it has conveyed its conditions to mediators for re-engaging in negotiations with the United States aimed at ending the fighting. Iran’s Security Chief Mohsen Rezaei says he made the statement in an interview with Al Jazeera.
Rezaei lists the conditions as ending the war on all fronts, unfreezing Iranian funds, and ending the US naval blockade. He also says consultations are continuing with Qatari and Pakistani mediators, and that Iran is waiting for a response from US President Donald Trump.
Both outlets report the same core message and listed demands. Middle East Eye adds additional context, saying Iran believes it needs to change its strategy toward Washington after the US withdrawal from a memorandum of understanding, and it references Iranian readiness to counter US air strikes and a recent anti-ship missile test near a US aircraft carrier. The Jerusalem Post focuses on the conditions without the extra background details.
