On March 25, according to Press TV, a news outlet controlled by the Iranian government, an Iranian official stated that Iran has rejected the U.S. proposal and insists that the war will only end on Iran's own terms and timeline. The official, who is familiar with the details of the Iranian government, emphasized that Iran will not allow Trump to decide when the war ends. He also highlighted Tehran's determination to continue defending itself and to inflict 'heavy blows' on its enemies until its demands are met. The official outlined five specific conditions for Iran to agree to end the war: 1) A complete cessation of enemy 'aggression and assassination' actions. 2) Establishment of a specific mechanism to ensure that war is not imposed on Iran again. 3) Guarantees and clear definitions of compensation and restoration costs for war losses. 4) Ending the war across all fronts and among all resistance organizations involved in the region. 5) International recognition and safeguarding of Iran's sovereign rights to exercise jurisdiction over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has communicated to all well-meaning intermediaries that the prerequisite for a ceasefire is the acceptance of all its conditions. The official emphasized, 'No negotiations will take place before this,' and reiterated that Iran's defensive actions will continue until the aforementioned conditions are met.
