*Iran has responded negatively to an American proposal
<https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/25/765817/Iran-warns-US-Do-not-call-your-retreat-an-agreement>
aimed at ending the ongoing imposed war, insisting that it will only occur
on Tehran's own terms and timeline, a senior political-security official
told Press TV on Wednesday.*

The official with knowledge of the details of the proposal, speaking
exclusively to Press TV, said Iran will not allow US President Donald Trump
<https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/23/765740/Trump-backed-down-after-Iran-threatened-to-retaliate-no-talks-underway-Report>
to dictate the timing of the war's end.

"Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions
are met," the official said, emphasizing Tehran's resolve
<https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/15/765394/trump-military-gamble-against-iran-backfires-spectacularly-no-exit-strategy>
to continue its defense and inflict "heavy blows
<https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/22/765699/Iran-s-military-doctrine-shifts-from-defensive-to-offensive-Senior-commander>"
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
<https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/23/765765/Iran-attacks-Dimona-Israel-Eilat-Tel-Aviv-United-States-war>
on the battlefield.

The official drew parallels with two previous rounds of negotiations held
in the spring and winter of 2025, characterising them as deceptive.

In both instances, the official stressed, the United States had no genuine
intention
<https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/04/764940/iran-agreed-nuclear-concessions-geneva-talks-then-us-israel-bombed>
to engage in meaningful dialogue and subsequently carried out military
aggression against Iran.

Tehran has therefore categorized the latest overture, which was delivered
via a friendly regional intermediary, as a ploy to heighten tensions and
has responded negatively
<https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/25/765823/Iran-says-no-talks-with-US-vows-to-continue-defending-itself>
.

The official outlined five specific conditions under which Iran would agree
to end the war. These include:

   - A complete halt to "aggression and assassinations" by the enemy.
   - The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not
   reimposed on the Islamic Republic.
   - Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages
   <https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/16/765449/war-cultural-memory-us-israeli-aggression-damages-iran-iconic-heritage-sites>
   and reparations.
   - The end of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups
   <https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/24/765804/Israel-threatens-Litani-River-occupation-as-deadly-strikes-on-Lebanon-intensify>
   involved throughout the region
   - Iran's exercise of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz
   <https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/24/765800/iran-controls-strait-hormuz-dictates-war-peace-us-excursion-backfires>
   is and will remain Iran's natural and legal right, and it constitutes a
   guarantee for the implementation of the other party's commitments, and must
   be recognized.

The official further noted that these stipulations are in addition to
demands previously presented by Tehran during the second round of
negotiations
<https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/25/765828/US-opted-war-on-Iran-despite-potential-breakthrough--Jake-Sullivan>
in Geneva, which took place just days before the US and Israel carried out
a fresh round of aggression on February 28.

Iran has communicated to all intermediaries acting in good faith that a
ceasefire is contingent upon the acceptance of all of its conditions.

"No negotiations will be held prior to that," the official stressed,
reiterating that the continuation of Iran's defensive operations
<https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/20/765623/Iran-United-Nations-war-Israel-United-States-self-defense>
will persist until the outlined conditions are met.

"The end of the war will occur when Iran decides it should end, not when
Trump envisions its conclusion," he hastened to add.

The unprovoked and illegal war
<https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/23/765722/In-letters-Iran-urges-ICC-relevant-intl-bodies-to-slam-US-Israel-military-aggression>
was launched on February 28 – in the middle of indirect nuclear talks
<https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/02/26/764745/Iran-US-talks-nuclear-NPT>
– with the assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah
Seyyed Ali Khamenei
<https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/01/764860/assassination-ayatollah-khamenei-open-war-against-muslims-pezeshkian>,
and some top-ranking military commanders and government officials.

In response, Iranian armed forces have so far carried out nearly 80 waves
of retaliatory strikes
<https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/25/765818/Iran-Iraqi-resistance-hit-US-military-hubs-Israeli-backed-separatists-in-Erbil>
targeting Israeli and American military assets across the region.

In recent days, the American side has courted some regional countries to
persuade Iran to cease its retaliatory strikes that have decimated American
<https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/25/765830/Report--US-F-35-among-20-aircraft-hit-by-Iran,-pilot-injured>
and Israeli military infrastructure in the region as well as to allow
American vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
