Iran Rejects U.S. Ceasefire Proposal, Sets Five Conditions to End War

Iran has formally rejected the latest 15-point ceasefire proposal from the United States and has outlined its own five conditions for ending the ongoing conflict. Tehran said negotiations will only begin after its demands are met, signaling prolonged tensions that could influence oil markets and risk assets, including crypto.

Among Iran’s key conditions is a complete halt to attacks and assassinations against Iranian officials. The country also demands concrete guarantees preventing future military aggression. These guarantees aim to ensure that no party can reimpose conflict on Iran in the future.

Additionally, Tehran seeks explicit acknowledgment and legal recognition of its authority over the Strait of Hormuz. The strategic waterway remains a core national interest, which Iran views as central to enforcing compliance from other nations.
