TEHRAN (Kashmir English): Iran has reviewed and rejected US President Donald Trump’s 15-point proposal to end the war and considers its conditions excessive, Iran’s state-run Press TV reported on Wednesday.
The report, citing a senior political-security official, said that Tehran will end the war only at a time of its own choosing and if its conditions are met.
“Tehran will not allow US President Donald Trump to dictate the timing of the war’s end. Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met,” Press TV quoted an official as saying.
It reported five of Tehran’s own conditions to bring the conflict to an end, including paying reparations for damage.
The official drew parallels with two previous rounds of negotiations held in the spring and winter of 2025, noting that the US carried out military operations against Iran in both instances, said the broadcaster.
“Tehran has therefore categorised the latest overture, which was delivered via a friendly regional intermediary, as a ploy to heighten tensions and has responded negatively,” Press TV reports.
Iran’s five conditions
The official outlined five specific conditions under which Iran would agree to end the war. These include:
- A complete halt to “aggression and assassinations” by the enemy.
- The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on Iran.
- Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations.
- The conclusion of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region.
- Iran’s exercise of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz is and will remain Iran’s natural and legal right, and it constitutes a guarantee for the implementation of the other party’s commitments, and must be recognized.
“The official further noted that these stipulations are in addition to demands previously presented by Tehran during the second round of negotiations in Geneva, which took place just days before the US and Israel carried out a fresh round of aggression on February 28,” the report said.
The publication also reported that Iran had communicated to “all intermediaries acting in good faith” that a ceasefire was contingent upon the acceptance of all of its conditions.
“No negotiations will be held before that,” the official stressed, reiterating that Iran’s defensive operations would persist until the outlined conditions are met. “The end of the war will occur when Iran decides it should end, not when Trump envisions its conclusion,” he added.
