Iran sets conditions for renewed talks as it awaits Trump response
Tehran says Qatar has conveyed its demands to Washington, while Iran prepares for the possibility of further conflict.
Iran says Qatar has conveyed Tehran’s conditions to Washington for ending the war and resuming negotiations, with the government awaiting a response from US President Donald Trump.
Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, told Al Jazeera that the conditions included an end to fighting on all fronts, the release of frozen Iranian funds and an end to the naval blockade. The demands have not been presented as agreed terms, and no US response was reported.
Qatar and Pakistan have been working to restore negotiations after a memorandum of understanding expired last month. Rezaei said mediated contacts were continuing, while describing Iran’s position as both open to diplomacy and prepared for further conflict.
He warned that Iran considered another US strike possible and said military planning was focused on US naval assets and regional bases. Those claims, including statements about missile testing and potential targets, were not independently verified.
Rezaei said Iran had not decided to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, but warned that further US pressure could prompt reconsideration. He also said Tehran had come close to an agreement with Oman on the Strait of Hormuz before the proposal was shelved.
The account, reported by Al Jazeera, primarily reflects Rezaei’s position. The status of the conflict, the diplomatic communication and any response from Washington remain unclear in the available material.
