Iran has formally responded to a 15-article proposal made by the United States on Wednesday night, March 25, Tasnim reported, citing an unnamed source. According to the source, Iran has made it clear in its response that the enemy’s aggressive acts of assassination must end, concrete conditions should be established to ensure that war does not recur again, compensation and war reparations must be guaranteed and clearly determined, and the end of the war should be implemented on all fronts and for all resistance groups that took part in this battle throughout the region.
The source added that Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz is its natural and legal right and will continue to be, and it is also a guarantee of the implementation of the commitments of the other party and must be recognized.
The source emphasized that it is clear to Iran that the U.S. claim about negotiations is merely a “third deception” project, saying the Americans pursue several goals under the guise of claiming negotiations: First; to deceive the world by presenting an apparently peaceful image that seeks an end to the war. Second; to keep oil prices low globally. Third; to buy time in order to prepare for a new aggressive action in southern Iran through ground invasion.
Both during the 12-day war and the ongoing war, the Americans started the war while negotiating, the source stated, adding that this time as well, the Americans are seeking to pave the way for new crimes under the false pretense of negotiations.
“Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met,” a source decribed as a senior political-security official told [https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/25/765835/iran-rejects-us-proposal-lays-out-five-conditions-ending-imposed-war-source] PressTV on March 25, emphasizing Tehran’s resolve to continue its defense and inflict “heavy blows” on the enemy until its demands are fulfilled. According to the official, Washington has been pursuing negotiations through various diplomatic channels, putting forward proposals that Tehran views as “excessive” and disconnected from the reality of America’s failure on the battlefield.
