The statement came hours after Iranian media revealed the US’s main conditions.

According to Iran’s Fars News Agency, America has set several conditions for resuming talks. Washington wants Iran to hand over 400 kilograms of enriched uranium and keep just one nuclear plant running. Also, Iran should give up its demand for war reparations and accept that most of its seized assets will remain blocked. America also wants that war on all fronts should stop only when negotiations are completed.

Iran also placed five conditions   

Iran has also put forward its five conditions in response. According to Iranian media reports, Iran will return to the negotiating table only when military operations throughout the region, especially in Lebanon, are halted. Iran wants the sanctions imposed on it to be lifted and the assets seized abroad to be returned. Apart from this, Iran has sought compensation for the damage caused by the war and has asked for recognition of its sovereignty over the ‘Strait of Hormuz’.

Tension continues even after ceasefire   

There was a ceasefire mediated by Pakistan earlier this year. The ceasefire came after weeks of fighting between Iran, Israel and US forces. Although this stopped the major fighting, no permanent political solution could be found. The tension still remains.
