Iran war: Tehran sets 7 terms to renew US talks — what are the demands? Will US strike against Houthis? What we know

Iran has set seven conditions for resuming talks with the United States amid ongoing war in the Middle East. Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei announced the demands in a post on X, stating Iran's message is clear and unambiguous. The seven demands include an end to the war "on all fronts", release of frozen Iranian assets, lifting of the US naval blockade, halt in the interference in Iran's affairs and cooperation with revolution opponents, ending aggression towards Iran's territory, and an end to the war between Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

Rezaei told Al Jazeera that Iran remains committed to the fatwa of their martyred Imam Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, but their position has not changed. Iran is also considering withdrawing from the Non-Proliferation Treaty, depending on America's conduct. The demands come as tensions continue to rise in the Middle East with the Saudi-led coalition announcing that Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen fired a ballistic missile at Riyadh.
