Iran has set out five conditions for entering a new round of negotiations with the United States, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported on Tuesday.
A source familiar with the matter said that Iran is demanding an end to all fronts of war, especially in Lebanon, the lifting of sanctions, the release of frozen Iranian assets, compensation for war damages, and recognition of Iran's authority over the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said on social media platform on the same day that true peace cannot be built on coercive policies.
He said that Iran's principles are clear, including a permanent end to the war and guarantees against its recurrence, compensation for damage, the lifting of the blockade and illegal sanctions, and full respect for Iran's rights.
He also said that one cannot speak of a ceasefire while maintaining a blockade, claim to support diplomacy while intensifying sanctions, or advocate for regional stability while providing political and military support to a regime that is the source of aggression and instability.
