Iran War: Tehran demands US concessions before new negotiations
For the Iranian leadership, there is no way back to the negotiating table without US concessions. Top of the list are an end to the naval blockade and the release of frozen assets.
Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf says the Strait of Hormuz can reopen if the US meets all its conditions. Iran's chief negotiator states that Iran's positions are clear and not negotiable, and there will be no return to previous negotiations unless the US fulfills all conditions. Mohsen Resai, Iran's top security coordinator, has expressed willingness to end the war with the US based on a June agreement, but lists seven prerequisites, including the US releasing frozen assets, ending the war, lifting blockades on Iranian ports and ships, and not interfering in Iran's internal affairs.
The US must meet these conditions before further negotiations can take place, which will include discussions on the future of Iran's nuclear program.
