As military tensions between Iran, United States, and Israel enter their third week, Iran has outlined three key conditions for ending the conflict: recognition of its rights, payment of reparations, and firm guarantees against future attacks.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran remains committed to peace but stressed that the fighting would only end if its demands are accepted by Washington and Tel Aviv. According to Iranian officials, the conflict began after what they describe as coordinated attacks by the United States and Israel, prompting retaliatory strikes from Iran.
Pezeshkian stated that Iran is seeking clear international assurances to safeguard its sovereignty and prevent further aggression. He emphasized that Tehran would consider ending hostilities only if these guarantees are formally recognized.
Meanwhile, speaking at a campaign-style rally in Kentucky ahead of upcoming midterm elections, U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States plans to continue its military operations, claiming that Washington currently holds the upper hand in the confrontation.
The ongoing conflict has caused significant casualties and disruption across the region. Rising tensions around the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz have also triggered sharp increases in global oil prices, as markets fear potential disruptions to one of the world’s most important energy supply routes.
