US and Iran Each Reveal "Negotiation Conditions," US Demands "Nuclear and Military Control Halt," Iran Seeks "Guarantees and Compensation"

US Media: Trump Team Has Been Secretly Planning Iran “Peace Talks” - Details Revealed

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 22 — The US and Israel have been conducting military strikes against Iran for over three weeks. On the 21st, Axios News reported, citing anonymous sources, that the Trump administration has begun to plan for “peace talks” with Iran, conducting preliminary negotiations through a third party; Trump’s special envoy Witkov and son-in-law Kushner are involved.

Axios quoted a US official and two other informed sources saying that US officials believe the conflict will continue for another two to three weeks. Meanwhile, Trump’s advisory team is seeking to end the conflict through diplomatic means.

The US demands that any agreement must include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s handling of high-enriched uranium, as well as long-term commitments regarding Iran’s nuclear program, ballistic missile projects, and support for regional “proxy” groups. Specific requirements include: Iran must not develop missile projects within five years, cease uranium enrichment activities, stop using the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities, impose strict limits on the construction and use of centrifuges and related machinery, reach arms control agreements with regional countries involving missile range restrictions, and refrain from funding regional armed groups such as Hamas, Houthi rebels in Yemen, and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The report states that the US and Iran have not had direct contact recently, but are communicating through third parties like Egypt and Qatar. Egypt and Qatar have informed Israel and the US that Iran’s conditions include ensuring that hostilities do not reignite and that Iran receives compensation. US officials revealed that Trump considers Iran’s compensation demands “unfeasible.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian said on the 20th that US and Israeli attacks on Iran are illegal and unjustified acts of aggression, calling for global unity to oppose them. Several countries have begun pushing for a ceasefire, but Iran is only considering a comprehensive end to the war. Iran does not accept a temporary ceasefire but demands a complete end to hostilities, including guarantees that Iran will no longer be attacked and compensation for damages suffered.

Abdollahian also stated he does not believe the US is prepared to negotiate.

Iranian Media Reports that Iranian Officials Have Proposed Six Conditions for Ceasefire

According to Mehr News Agency and other Iranian media on the 22nd, an anonymous Iranian official told Lebanon’s “Square” TV that Iran has put forward six conditions for a ceasefire.

The report quotes the official as saying that some mediators in the Middle East have proposed ceasefire suggestions to Iran, but Iran insists that six conditions must be met. These are: 1. Guarantee that the war will not recur; 2. Close US military bases in the Middle East; 3. Compensation paid by the aggressors to Iran; 4. End all fighting on all fronts in the region; 5. Establish new legal frameworks for the Strait of Hormuz; 6. Trial and transfer of media personnel involved in anti-Iran activities.

The official stated that, based on the current military situation, Iran does not expect a ceasefire soon and will “continue punishing the aggressors” until they “learn from history.”

He also said that Iran’s current actions within the framework of “defensive war” are based on a phased plan developed months ago.

Additionally, Iran’s Islamic Republic Broadcasting reported on the 22nd that Iran’s armed forces have shifted from a defensive to an offensive strategy, adjusting battlefield tactics accordingly.
