PANews reported on March 25 that, according to Press TV, a state-controlled Iranian news channel, an Iranian government official issued a statement saying that Iran has rejected the US proposal and insists that the war will only end on Iran's own terms and timetable. The official, familiar with the details of the Iranian government, stated that Iran will not allow Trump to decide when the war ends. He also emphasized Tehran's determination to continue its defense and inflict "heavy blows" on the enemy until its demands are met. The official outlined five specific conditions for Iran to agree to end the war, including: ① A complete cessation of the enemy's "aggression and assassination" activities. ② The establishment of a concrete mechanism to ensure that war will not be imposed on Iran again. ③ Guarantee and clearly define the payment of compensation and repair costs for war losses. ④ An end to the war on all fronts and within the scope of all participating resistance organizations throughout the region. ⑤ International recognition and guarantee of Iran's sovereign rights to exercise jurisdiction over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has conveyed to all goodwill intermediaries that a ceasefire is contingent on accepting all its conditions. The official emphasized, "There will be no negotiations before then," and reiterated that Iran's defensive operations will continue until the aforementioned conditions are met.
