Tehran: Amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia, Iran has issued a stern warning to the US. Major General Mohsen Rezaei, the powerful secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, responded to US President Donald Trump’s statement in which he said the possibility of a resumption of war is slim. Rezaei demanded that the US accept Iran’s seven conditions to end the conflict.
In a statement to Iranian media, Rezaei said that the war against Iran has divided the US government from within. He accused Washington of behaving like a desperate gambler. Rezaei said that the US should stop spreading reports of imaginary negotiations and accept the new order being formed in West Asia. He appealed to the US to submit to Iran’s seven conditions.
What are Iran’s seven conditions?
Iran has placed seven conditions before the US to immediately end the conflict. These include a halt to military action on all fronts, the lifting of the US naval blockade around the Strait of Hormuz, and the immediate reopening of this sea route.
In addition, Iran has demanded the lifting of economic sanctions, the return of Iranian assets held abroad, and an end to US interference in the country’s internal affairs.
Trump said: Iran’s military power is almost gone.
Iran’s demand comes at a time when US President Donald Trump has indicated that the likelihood of a re-escalation of the conflict is low. Trump stated that Iran’s military power has effectively been decimated, and that the US is currently trying to maintain the status quo.
He claimed that Iran is negotiating with the US and is being very polite. According to Trump, an end to the conflict will improve the security of American citizens and others around the world.
However, he also clarified that the US military is fully prepared if military action is needed again. Trump stated that US forces are fully prepared and can take immediate action if necessary.
Trump’s Talks with Gulf Countries, Including Qatar
On Monday, Trump held high-level talks with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. The regional situation and security arrangements regarding Iran were discussed.
Trump claimed that Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Kuwait, and other Gulf countries support the continuation of the naval blockade against Iran. He called for a land and sea blockade under Operation Iron Gate.
Trump stated on his social media platform, Truth Social, that all Gulf allies agree that Iran will not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons at any cost. He described this as a non-negotiable issue for the United States.
Trump declared the US military fully prepared in the event of a de-escalation in the region, but also expressed hope for progress toward de-escalating the conflict and ending military action.
