Iran Lays Out Demands to End War with US and Israel

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has outlined a set of non-negotiable conditions for ending the ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel. The demands, presented in a social media post on Wednesday, March 11, include international recognition of Iran's rights, payment of reparations, and binding security guarantees.

"In conversations with the leaders of Russia and Pakistan, I reaffirmed Iran's commitment to peace in the region," Pezeshkian wrote. "The only way to end this war—ignited by the Zionist regime and the US—is by recognizing Iran's legitimate rights, payment of reparations, and firm international guarantees against future aggression."

The statement from Tehran comes just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that military operations against Iran could conclude soon. In an interview, Trump stated that the campaign was "going great" and ahead of schedule, adding that there were "hardly any targets left" for strikes and that significant damage had been inflicted on Iran.

Trump further asserted that Tehran's hostility had extended beyond Israel and the United States to nations across the Persian Gulf. The Iranian military has reportedly issued a sharp rebuke to Trump's comments about a swift end to hostilities.
