Iran Sends Trump Three Conditions to End War
Iran Sends Trump Three Conditions to End War
The News
Iran has handed the Trump administration its conditions for ending the war and restarting negotiations, the country's top security official, Mohsen Rezaei, said Saturday.
The terms are three: end the war on all fronts, unfreeze Iranian funds, and lift the US naval blockade around the Strait of Hormuz.
Rezaei said the message was carried to Washington through Qatar and that Tehran is now waiting for President Trump's response.
The Three Conditions
1. End the war on all fronts. A halt to the fighting, not a partial or regional pause.
2. Unfreeze Iranian funds. Release of Iranian money held abroad.
3. Lift the naval blockade. An end to the US blockade around the Strait of Hormuz.
Timeline
Yemen's Houthis declare a naval blockade against Riyadh and begin striking Saudi vessels in the Red Sea.
The UN Security Council warns that continued Houthi escalation risks widening the conflict and deepening Yemen's humanitarian crisis.
Rezaei says Iran has conveyed its conditions to end the war and re-engage in talks, and is awaiting Trump's answer. The same day, smoke and flames are reported at Riyadh's main airport after explosions are heard.
Reactions
Rezaei, Iran's security chief, framed the terms as the price of returning to the table — Tehran's position is that talks cannot resume while the blockade holds and Iranian funds stay frozen.
The Independent reports that Trump has issued fresh demands of his own for ending the war, leaving the two sides trading conditions rather than meeting.
Coverage across outlets does not split on the core facts: the Jerusalem Post, Newsmax and The Independent all report the same set of Iranian conditions.
What's Next
The next move belongs to the White House. Rezaei said Iran is awaiting a formal response from Trump; none had been reported as of Saturday.
Mediators continue to work the channel, with Qatar carrying messages between the two governments.
Also unresolved: whether Saturday's explosions at Riyadh's airport were a Houthi strike, and what damage they caused.
More
The war has now dragged past the six-month mark without a resolution, and a separate Houthi campaign against Saudi shipping is threatening to pull Riyadh deeper into it.
Financial pressure on Tehran is still tightening elsewhere: Turkey's banking regulator revoked the Istanbul license of Iran's Bank Mellat, citing financial stability.
