Farsnews citing State-owned PressTV quoting a senior official of the Islamic Regime: Iran has formally rejected a U.S. proposal delivered via a regional mediator, affirming its readiness to maintain its defensive posture and deliver decisive counterstrikes against hostile actions. Tehran maintains that defensive operations will continue until the following conditions are met: 1. An immediate cessation of all acts of aggression and targeted assassinations; 2. The establishment of objective guarantees ensuring that military conflict will not recur; 3. A clear and binding framework for the assessment and payment of war reparations and damages; 4. A comprehensive ceasefire across all fronts, encompassing all regional resistance groups involved in the current conflict; 5. Formal recognition of Iran’s sovereign authority over the Strait of Hormuz as a natural and legal right, serving as a guarantee for the enforcement of the opposing party’s obligations.
