Iran rejects ceasefire initiatives achieved through mediation and sets its own conditions for negotiations with the US.
Modern.az reports that this was stated in a report by Lebanon's "Al Mayadeen" television channel,
"Iran rejects all ceasefire initiatives achieved through mediation because it has conditions and demands real guarantees."
According to the channel's report, the leadership of the Islamic Republic rejects the current proposals of the mediators, considers them insufficient, and demands clearer commitments.
Specifically, Tehran demands guarantees from the US against future aggression, compensation payments, and an agreement that Iran can implement a full nuclear fuel cycle at its nuclear energy facilities.
On March 10, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that negotiations between Tehran and Washington are unlikely to be considered during the tenure of the Islamic Republic's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei.
On the same day, Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi announced that several countries, including Russia, China, and France, had approached the country regarding a ceasefire. He emphasized that Tehran's primary condition for a ceasefire is a guarantee that aggression will not be repeated.
