Iran has rejected the ceasefire proposal put forward by the United States and has presented five Iranian conditions for a ceasefire.
On the 25th, Iran's Press TV cited a senior Iranian official as saying that Iran would not agree to the time table set by US President Trump to end the war. "Iran will only end the war at a time of its own choosing, and only when its own conditions are met."
The official elaborated on Iran's five conditions for agreeing to end the war, namely: the enemy must completely stop acts of aggression and assassination; a concrete mechanism must be established to ensure that war will not be forced upon Iran again; war reparations and compensation for damages must be guaranteed and clearly defined; all fronts in the region and all resistance organizations must end the war; Iran's exercise of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz is and will remain Iran's natural and legitimate right, and this must be recognized.3cbr>
The official stated that Iran has already made it clear to all mediators that the ceasefire must be based on full acceptance of all Iranian conditions. "There will be no negotiations before this, and the end of the war will be decided by Iran, not according to the timetable imagined by Trump."
On the 24th, the Trump administration was revealed to have conveyed a "15-point plan" aimed at ending the conflict to Iran via Pakistan. From Iran's perspective, the US side, having suffered a strategic failure, is making exorbitant demands, acting with impure motives, and has long since lost all credibility.
