Iran presents conditions for negotiations to end conflict with the United States

On September 19, 2026, the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, announced that Tehran has conveyed its formal terms for restarting negotiations to end the ongoing war with the United States. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Rezaei stated that the communication is being facilitated by mediators from Qatar and Pakistan.

The proposed conditions for a ceasefire include a total cessation of hostilities across all fronts, the unfreezing of Iranian financial assets held abroad, and the lifting of the naval blockade currently imposed by the U.S. Tehran is now awaiting a formal response from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding these terms.

These negotiations follow a period of intense military confrontation between the two nations. The current status of the situation involves ongoing diplomatic consultations through regional intermediaries. There is no set timeline for a response from the White House, and further developments depend on the reaction of the American administration to the specific demands outlined by the Iranian leadership.
