Iran says conditions to re-engage in talks, end war sent to US via Qatar

Iran has conveyed conditions to mediators for re-engaging in negotiations with the US. According to Iran's Security Chief Mohsen Rezaei, these conditions include ending the war on all fronts, unfreezing Iranian funds, and ending the US naval blockade.

Rezaei stated that consultations are ongoing with Qatari and Pakistani mediators, and that Tehran is awaiting a response from US President Donald Trump. The comments were made in an interview with Al Jazeera.

Iran's change in strategy toward Washington follows the US withdrawal from a memorandum of understanding, Rezaei said. He also mentioned that Iran is prepared to counter US air strikes, having recently tested an anti-ship missile near a US aircraft carrier, according to Middle East Eye.
