Iran sets firm demands to end war amid regional push to restart talks with Washington: Report

Snip:

The report comes hours after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian issued a series of demands for an end to the war, including reparations for Iran.

“Talking to leaders of Russia and Pakistan, I reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to peace in the region. The only way to end this war – ignited by the Zionist regime and US – is recognizing Iran’s legitimate [nuclear and defense] rights, payment of reparations, and firm international guarantees against future aggression,” the Iranian president stated on X.

Before striking Iran in the middle of negotiations for the second time in a year, Washington was demanding zero uranium enrichment, an end to the Iranian nuclear and missile programs, and an end to Tehran’s support for resistance groups in the region. Iran refused the terms.

The Islamic Republic has continued to successfully launch heavy ballistic missile attacks on Israel and US bases and assets across the region, including energy infrastructure and tankers attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz in violation of Iranian warnings.
