As the Iran-Israel-US war entered day 13, Tehran outlined three conditions for ending the conflict, signalling that a ceasefire would hinge on political recognition, financial compensation and security guarantees.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the war, triggered by the February 28 US-Israel strikes that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and senior commanders, could end only if Iran’s “legitimate rights” were recognised, reparations were paid for damages, and binding international guarantees prevented future aggression. The conflict has since expanded across West Asia with missile exchanges, attacks on oil tankers and strikes on US military installations.
