Iranian President Sets Three Conditions to End Conflict With the U.S. and Israel

 

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has laid out three major conditions for ending the escalating conflict with the United States and Israel, demanding compensation and strong international guarantees that Iran will not be attacked again in the future.

In a post on the social platform X on March 12, Pezeshkian said he had spoken with leaders from Russia and Pakistan, reaffirming Iran’s stated commitment to stability and peace in the Middle East despite the rapidly escalating tensions.

According to Pezeshkian, the current conflict—triggered by military actions from the United States and Israel—can only end if three key demands are met. First, Iran insists that its “legitimate rights” be formally recognized by the international community.

Second, Tehran demands compensation for damages caused by the military strikes. Third, Iran wants binding international guarantees to prevent any future attacks against its territory.

“The only way to end the current conflict initiated by the United States and Israel is to recognize Iran’s legitimate rights, compensate for the damages, and provide firm international guarantees to prevent aggression against us in the future,” Pezeshkian wrote.

This marks the first time the Iranian president has publicly outlined specific conditions to end the war, which has now stretched into nearly two weeks of intense hostilities between Iran and the U.S.-Israel alliance.

At the same time, tensions continued to rise across the region. Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Bagher Ghalibaf, warned that Tehran would abandon “all restraint” if the United States or Israel attempted to attack any Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf—including the strategic oil hub of Kharg Island.

According to reports from Axios, U.S. officials have been discussing possible military options targeting Kharg Island, widely considered the lifeline of Iran’s oil exports. Any attempt to seize or disable the island could significantly disrupt Iran’s economy and global oil markets.
