Iran has issued 14 conditions in response to a U.S. nine-point proposal, according to a report cited by Tasnim News Agency. The response centers on security guarantees, sanctions relief, and broader regional de-escalation, signaling that Tehran is seeking more than a temporary pause in fighting.
Key Demands Go Beyond a Simple Ceasefire
Among the main conditions, Iran is asking for guarantees against future military aggression, the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region, the lifting of sanctions, and the unfreezing of Iranian assets. It also wants an end to the maritime blockade, payment of war reparations, and a new mechanism governing the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s demands also extend to the wider regional battlefield. The report says Tehran is calling for a halt to hostilities not only in the immediate conflict zone but also in Lebanon, underscoring its push for a broader regional settlement rather than a narrow ceasefire arrangement.
Tehran Wants a 30-Day Settlement
The U.S. proposal reportedly called for a two-month ceasefire. Iran, however, is insisting that all issues be resolved within 30 days. That position suggests a shift away from renewable short-term truce frameworks toward a more comprehensive end to hostilities.
Based on the available details, the two sides remain apart on both timing and scope. Washington appears to favor an initial temporary ceasefire, while Tehran is pressing for a package deal that addresses military, economic, and regional security issues at the same time. Whether that gap can be narrowed in future negotiations remains unclear.
