Iranian Official: We Have Set 7 Conditions to Start Any Negotiations with America and Trump's Calculations are "Wrong"

- The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Major General Mohsen Rezai, stated that Tehran has set 7 basic conditions for the U.S. government as a prerequisite for starting any negotiations, and mentioned that U.S. President Donald Trump's calculations regarding the war were "wrong." Rezai added in statements on Saturday evening that Tehran has laid out 7 clear conditions before the American side to begin any negotiation process, according to the Iranian official news agency "IRNA."

He explained that consultations with the Qatari and Pakistani mediators are still ongoing, and that Iran has informed them of its conditions for negotiation, with Qatar conveying them to Washington, and Tehran is awaiting Trump's response to the conditions. He noted that among Iran's conditions are "ending the war on all fronts, releasing frozen Iranian assets, and ending the maritime blockade."

Mohsen Rezai described Tehran's position as "decisive and unequivocal," pointing out that if Washington wishes to overcome the current crisis it has caused and avoid further entanglement, it must commit to recognizing Iranian rights and complying with the proposed conditions. Rezai stated that "the U.S. President's calculations regarding Iran were wrong, and that Tehran will target U.S. bases and interests in the region more severely if attacked," according to the semi-official Iranian news agency "Mehr."

He said that "Iran is ready to engage in a fateful war and knows the weaknesses of the U.S. military." The Iranian official claimed that Tehran wants to end the war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in Yemen, and stated that "the Houthis also wish to reach an agreement with Riyadh," according to the "Mehr" agency.
