Iran Says No Halt in Military Operations Until Its Demands Are Met

Iran has firmly rejected a proposal from the United States aimed at ending the ongoing war, describing the offer as unacceptable and overly demanding. Iranian officials said any ceasefire will happen strictly on Tehran's terms, stressing that the country will decide when and how the conflict ends.

Authorities in Tehran made it clear that they will not allow Donald Trump or the US administration to determine the timeline for ending hostilities. According to Iranian officials, military operations will continue until the country's conditions are fully met.

Reports from Iranian state media indicate that the government has reviewed the US proposal but is not satisfied with its contents. While the document is still being studied internally, early reactions from Iranian officials suggest that the plan does not address Tehran's core demands.

One of Iran's key conditions is the recognition of its authority over the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic maritime passage through which a large share of the world's oil supply flows. Tehran says its control over the waterway is a legitimate and sovereign right.

Iran has also demanded accountability for the destruction caused during the conflict. Officials are seeking clear commitments that compensation will be provided for the damages suffered during the war.

Beyond its own borders, Iran has expanded its conditions for ending the conflict. Leaders in Tehran argue that a lasting ceasefire cannot focus solely on Iran, but must also include an end to hostilities against allied resistance groups across the region.

The Iranian position surfaced shortly after the United States reportedly sent a proposal aimed at pausing the war in West Asia. At the same time, Washington has been strengthening its military presence in the region by deploying additional troops and Marines, reflecting the tense environment surrounding the negotiations.

Tehran, however, has maintained that peace will only be possible when its sovereignty, security interests and regional allies are fully taken into account.
