Iran is ready to end war on Trump's offer but with these 5 conditions met: Report
Iran has set five key demands for ending the war with the US, emphasising that concessions from Washington are necessary.
Iran has outlined five key demands that it wants addressed before agreeing to end the war with the United States, signalling a hardened negotiating stance even as claims that talks between the two sides are going well.
According to reports, Tehran has made it clear that ending the war alone will not be enough, and any potential talks would require Washington to accept several major concessions.

Iran's position revolves around five core conditions for ending the conflict:
- An immediate end to the war between the United States and Iran.
- Guarantees that the US will not launch future military attacks against Iran.
- Financial compensation for damage and losses suffered during the conflict.
- Formal control over the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic waterway through which a significant share of the world's oil supply passes.
- No negotiations or restrictions on Iran's ballistic missile programme, which Tehran considers a non-negotiable deterrent capability.
These are for Washington, particularly the call for control over the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's refusal to discuss limits on its missile programme.
Talks remain indirect
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that Washington has held "very strong talks" with Iran. However, Iranian officials have publicly denied that any direct negotiations have taken place.
