Iran Sets Six Demands to End War, Rewriting the Region’s Order

Iran, asserting battlefield gains and a new strategic framework, outlined six binding conditions for a ceasefire: guarantees that the war will not be repeated, closure of U.S. bases in the region, compensation for damages, an end to all regional wars, a new legal regime governing the Strait of Hormuz, and extradition of individuals tied to hostile media operations. Tehran says it will not pursue an immediate halt to fighting, instead pursuing a stage‑by‑stage strategy to reshape regional security and media dynamics as it claims greater control of the skies and momentum after recent strikes.
