Iran Refuses Second Round of US Negotiations Unless . . . . Conditions are met
Iran has informed the Pakistani mediator that it will not enter a second round of negotiations with the US unless five minimum “confidence-building” conditions are met.
The reported conditions include:
• ending the war on all fronts, especially Lebanon
• lifting sanctions on Iran
• releasing blocked Iranian funds
• compensation for war damages
• and recognition of Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.
Sources inside Iran say Tehran views the continued naval blockade in the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman, even after a ceasefire, as further proof that the US cannot be trusted in negotiations.
Perhaps most tellingly, Iranian sources claim Washington’s 14-point proposal attempted to obtain through diplomacy what it failed to achieve militarily during the war. MORE
