Iran has rejected a US proposal to end the ongoing US-Israeli conflict in the Gulf, according to state-run Press TV, citing a senior political-security official.
The official said Tehran will not allow US President Donald Trump to set the timeline for ending the war.
The proposal was delivered to Iran by Pakistan, with Pakistan or Turkiye suggested as potential venues for talks to ease tensions.
Iran insists it will conclude the conflict only when its own conditions are met and will continue defensive operations until that time. The official described US proposals as “excessive” and disconnected from the realities on the battlefield.
Press TV reported that Iran has outlined five conditions for ending hostilities: a full stop to enemy aggression and assassinations, mechanisms to prevent the war from resuming, guaranteed compensation for war damages, cessation of fighting across all fronts and groups in the region, and international recognition of Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz.
These requirements build on demands Tehran previously presented during recent Geneva negotiations. Iran has made it clear that a ceasefire will only occur if all conditions are accepted, and no talks will happen beforehand.
“The war will end when Iran decides, not according to Trump’s timeline,” the official said.
