Iran demands recognition of sovereignty over Strait of Hormuz as ‘legal right’
In a defiant official stance reported by Press TV, Iran has outlined clear red lines for ending the current conflict in the Middle East, emphasizing that it will conclude the war on its own terms and timeline — not under pressure from US President Donald Trump or external aggressors.
Iranian officials have rejected any attempts by Washington to dictate the pace or outcome of the fighting, insisting that the Islamic Republic will not allow external forces to control when or how the war ends.
Key Iranian Demands for a Comprehensive Ceasefire
According to the latest statements, Tehran’s conditions include:
- Immediate end to all aggression by the US, Israel, and their allies across every front.
- Concrete international guarantees to prevent any recurrence of war or future attacks on Iranian territory.
- Clear determination and guaranteed payment of war damageswith full compensation for losses suffered during the conflict.
- Comprehensive cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including operations against resistance groups such as Hezbollah and others in the region.
- Full recognition of Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz as its natural and legal right, including the ability to control and manage passage through this vital waterway.
These demands come amid heightened tensions, with Iran maintaining control over the Strait of Hormuz — a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments — and warning of further closures or restrictions if its infrastructure, including power plants, faces additional threats.
