One of the key conditions Iran has set to end the conflict is that it will continue to exercise sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran on Wednesday rejected the 15-point US peace plan, insisting that the Islamic Republic will not allow the US President to dictate the timing of the war and end it on its own terms.
Citing an official with the knowledge of the details of the proposal, Iranian media outlet Press TV reported that Iran has set out five conditions to end the ongoing war.

“Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met,” Press TV quoted the Iranian official as saying.

The official further stated that Washington has been pursuing negotiations through intermediaries but Tehran views its proposal as “excessive” and disconnected from the reality of US failure on the battlefield.
The official called the US proposal “delivered via a friendly regional intermediary” a “ploy” to heighten tensions.
What are Iran’s conditions to end the war?
According to Press TV, the Iranian official outlined five conditions under which Iran would agree to end the conflict.
The Iranian conditions include a complete halt to “aggression and assassinations” by the enemy; the establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic; guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations; the conclusion of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region.
One of the key conditions Iran has set to end the conflict is that it will continue to exercise sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.
The Iranian response came after the US sent a 15-point proposal to Iran, asking the country to give up its nuclear ambitions and free the Strait of Hormuz for shipping. The US also offered to lift all sanctions and help in the country’s civil nuclear program.
US proposal to Iran asked the country to dismantle its current nuclear capabilities, pledge not to pursue nuclear weapons in the future, uranium enrichment to be stopped within Iranian territory, around 450 kg of uranium enriched to 60 per cent to be handed over to the IAEA under a set timeline and dismantle nuclear sites at Natanz, Isfahan and Fordo.
The US proposal had aslo asked Iran to stop funding proxy groups and keep the Strait of Hormuz open as a free maritime route.
In return, Iran would receive complete removal of international sanctions, US support for civilian nuclear development, including power generation at Bushehr and end of the “snapback” sanctions mechanism.
