Iran has communicated its conditions to international mediators for restarting negotiations with the United States. It has also warned that Tehran is prepared for a decisive war if Washington rejects its demands. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said Iran’s conditions included an end to the war on all fronts, the release of frozen Iranian funds and an end to the naval blockade.
In a separate post on X, Rezaei said Iran has announced seven conditions for beginning negotiations with Washington and described Tehran’s position as clear and unambiguous. The Iranian security chief said Tehran’s planning is focused on US naval assets stretching from the Gulf through the Gulf of Oman and into the Arabian Sea. He claimed Iran had also recently test-fired a multi-warhead anti-ship missile near a US vessel or aircraft carrier.
Rezaei warned that any future Iranian response could be extensive, targeting US bases in the region as well as American commercial interests and companies operating locally. International Mediators have been working to re-establish negotiations between the two sides since their memorandum of understanding expired last month. Regional countries are also seeking an end to the war that began when the US and Israel launched strikes against Iran in late February, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
