Iran Sets 3 Conditions To End War With US and Israel
Amid escalating tensions in the ongoing Iran–Israel–US conflict, Iran has outlined three key conditions that must be fulfilled before it agrees to end the war. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the conflict could only conclude if Iran’s legitimate rights are recognised, compensation is paid for the damages caused during the war, and firm international guarantees are provided to prevent any future attacks on the country.
In a message posted on the social media platform X, President Pezeshkian reiterated Iran’s commitment to regional peace but blamed the ongoing war on actions by the United States and Israel. He emphasized that diplomatic efforts must focus on ensuring Iran’s sovereignty and security.
“The only way to end this war—ignited by the Zionist regime and the US—is to recognise Iran’s legitimate rights, ensure payment of reparations, and provide firm international guarantees against future aggression,” Pezeshkian wrote.
Iran Issues Strong Warning Over Oil Ports
The call for negotiations came alongside a stern warning from Iran’s military leadership. Armed forces spokesperson Abolfazl Shekarchi warned that if the United States targets Iranian ports or maritime infrastructure, Tehran could retaliate against all ports and economic centres across the Persian Gulf region.
Speaking to Iran’s state broadcaster Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, Shekarchi stated that Iran’s military would launch a far stronger response if its ports were attacked. He also called on regional countries to remove American military forces from their territories.
Israel’s Assessment of the Conflict
Meanwhile, Israeli officials have reportedly expressed doubts about whether the ongoing war will lead to the collapse of Iran’s clerical leadership. According to reports from Reuters, Israeli officials believe there is currently no clear indication of a large-scale uprising within Iran despite intense bombardment.
Recent airstrikes by the United States and Israel have reportedly caused significant casualties and damage across several Iranian cities, including the capital Tehran. The attacks have killed several senior military figures and, according to reports, also resulted in civilian deaths and destruction of homes and public infrastructure.
Growing Humanitarian and Economic Pressure
The conflict has further worsened Iran’s economic situation as strict international sanctions continue to pressure the country’s economy. With missile strikes hitting multiple cities and internal security forces warning against protests, many Iranians remain cautious about demonstrating during the wartime environment.
Analysts warn that even if active combat subsides, Iran could face long-term economic and political challenges due to sanctions, infrastructure damage, and rising public dissatisfaction.
