Iran Sets 7 Conditions for Talks with US, Awaits Trump’s Response | WPN World People News

Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said on September 19 that Iran had conveyed seven conditions to the United States through Qatar for the resumption of negotiations, in an effort to find a diplomatic solution to months of escalating tensions.

Although Tehran has not publicly disclosed all seven conditions, Rezaei said Iran’s key demands include a comprehensive ceasefire on all fronts, the unfreezing of Iranian assets, and the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade of Iran. The message has been relayed to Washington by Qatar, and Tehran is now waiting for a response from U.S. President Donald Trump.

Rezaei stressed that if the United States wants to overcome the current crisis, it must recognize Iran’s rights and accept the conditions. He said that after the collapse of the “Islamabad Memorandum,” which was signed in June but expired in August, Iran and the United States have continued indirect contacts through mediators including Qatar and Pakistan.

Some Iranian sources also said that Washington had signaled to mediating countries that it was willing to resume negotiations and reach an agreement, provided that the United States ends hostile actions, lifts the blockade and allows Iran to resume oil exports. Under those circumstances, talks on Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions relief could potentially resume.

Despite signaling a willingness to negotiate, Iran is maintaining a tough stance. Rezaei said Iran was prepared for any escalation of the conflict, with its military deployments focused on U.S. naval forces in the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea.

He warned that if Iran were attacked again, its retaliation would extend to U.S. military bases as well as American commercial interests and companies in the Middle East. At the same time, he stressed that Tehran’s overall strategic goal remains to end the war as quickly as possible, adding that future developments will depend on whether Washington accepts Iran’s proposed conditions.
