Iran Sets Out Five-point Ceasefire Plan, Says 'Accept Conditions Before Negotiation'

**March 25** Iran has rejected a U.S. proposal on ending ongoing conflict, with Tehran insisting the war will conclude on its own conditions and timeline, per Iran’s government-aligned Press TV. A senior Iranian official familiar with the details stated Tehran will not allow former President Trump to dictate when hostilities end, emphasizing Iran’s ongoing defensive posture and determination to deliver “heavy blows” to adversaries until its demands are met. The official outlined five key conditions for ending the war: 1. Full cessation of the adversary’s “aggression and assassination operations” 2. A specific mechanism to prevent future war imposition on Iran 3. Guaranteed, clear definition of compensation and repair costs for war losses 4. End to hostilities across all fronts and within all regional resistance organizations involved 5. International recognition and assurance of Iran’s sovereign right to exercise jurisdiction over the Strait of Hormuz Iran has informed all well-intentioned intermediaries a ceasefire is contingent on full acceptance of all five conditions. The official stressed: “No negotiations will occur until these are met,” reiterating defensive actions will continue until the demands are fulfilled. (Source: Forex Crunch)
