Tehran is awaiting Donald Trump\u2019s response to its conditions for restarting negotiations, security chief Mohsen Rezaei has said<\/p>\n
Iran has conveyed its peace terms to the US through Qatari mediators, the country\u2019s top security official Mohsen Rezaei has said, arguing that it is in Washington\u2019s interest to accept them.
\nThe 60-day period provided under the US-Iranian memorandum of understanding to negotiate a settlement expired last month without a deal, while disrupted maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz continues to drive up energy prices.
\n\u201cSeven conditions set by Iran for the start of any negotiations have been conveyed to the US administration. Tehran\u2019s message is clear and unambiguous: If Washington wants to escape the predicament it has created for itself and avoid becoming further entangled in it, it has no choice but to recognize Iran\u2019s rights and accept its conditions,\u201d Rezaei wrote on X on Saturday.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Rezaei, the secretary of Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council, said the terms include \u201can end to the war on all fronts, the release of our frozen funds and an end to the naval blockade.\u201d
\nIranian officials have previously said they were also seeking the withdrawal of American forces from the region and compensation for the US and Israeli strikes launched on February 28.
\n\u201cTrump\u2019s threats will not achieve any results. We are prepared for a decisive war,\u201d Rezaei added.
\nUS President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that \u201chopefully we are toward the end of the war\u201d and suggested that Iran wants to make a deal. The following day, however, he again threatened to \u201cannihilate\u201d the Iranian leadership if the conflict did not end on his terms.
\nThe US military revealed on Friday that the nearly seven-month conflict has cost $43.6 billion, with nearly two-thirds of the bill going toward replenishing depleted munitions stockpiles.
\nAccording to Bloomberg, widely reported US ammunition shortages could delay arms deliveries to America\u2019s allies by several years. Trump and War Secretary Pete Hegseth have denied that the conflict has left the US short of missiles and bombs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
