Iran Rejects US Ceasefire Proposal, Sets Own Conditions to End Ongoing Conflict

• Iran rejects US ceasefire proposal terms
• Iran conditions required to end war
• Strait of Hormuz sovereignty central issue

Iran has firmly rejected a ceasefire proposal put forward by the United States, signaling that the path to ending the conflict will depend entirely on its own terms rather than conditions dictated from Washington.

The proposal, which reportedly included multiple clauses such as easing sanctions on Iran, limiting its missile program, and halting nuclear activities under international monitoring, was described by Iranian authorities as unacceptable and excessive.

According to Iran, any resolution to the ongoing war must address its core demands. Officials stressed that decisions regarding peace will not be influenced by statements or directions from US leadership, including former President Donald Trump, but will instead be based solely on Iran’s conditions.

Among its key demands, Iran has called for a complete halt to hostile actions, including attacks and targeted killings. It has also emphasized the need for formal recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, describing it as a legitimate and natural right.

Additionally, Iran is seeking accountability for damages caused during the conflict, along with full compensation. The country has also insisted on guarantees to prevent similar conflicts in the future and has urged the creation of strict mechanisms to ensure no further attacks are carried out against the Islamic Republic.

Iranian officials made it clear that until these conditions are fully met, military operations will continue. The country has reiterated that the decision to end the war lies solely with Tehran and not with any external proposals or pressures.

State media in Iran reinforced this stance, stating that the US plan does not align with Iran’s expectations and cannot serve as a basis for ending the conflict.
