Iran Outlines Terms to Resume Talks with US
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said that Tehran has communicated its conditions to Washington for restarting diplomatic talks.
Iran has specified its demands to the United States for restarting diplomatic talks, according to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei, who announced the conditions on Wednesday, September 23. The two nations are set to resume engagement after a series of military strikes and retaliatory actions that began on February 28.
The conditions proposed by Iran include the removal of a naval blockade, cessation of U.S. aggression and economic terrorism against Iran, ending hostilities on all fronts, unfreezing Iranian assets, and respecting the maritime corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, as agreed with Oman. On the other hand, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) reported on the same day that 115 commercial vessels have been redirected to enforce the naval blockade on Iranian ports.
The tensions escalated after joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian targets on February 28, followed by a series of retaliatory counterstrikes and the re-imposition of the naval blockade by the U.S. on July 12.
