Iran on Wednesday (March 25,
2026) rejected a U.S. proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, outlining its own conditions for peace while continuing exchanges of fire with Israel.
The U.S. proposal reportedly included a ceasefire and potential sanctions relief in return for Tehran abandoning its nuclear programme and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. However, according to Iran’s state-run Press TV, Tehran has put forward five key demands for ending the war.
Iran maintains that the conflict began after a joint U.S.-Israel offensive on February 28, which included the assassination of its Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, along with several other senior figures.
Tehran’s conditions for peace include a complete halt to military aggression and targeted assassinations, as well as the establishment of “concrete mechanisms” to prevent future attacks. It has also called for compensation in the form of war damages and reparations.
Additionally, Iran is demanding an end to hostilities across all fronts and formal recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, which it describes as its “natural and legal right.”
The developments come amid heightened tensions in the region, with continued military engagement raising concerns over broader instability and disruptions to global energy routes.
