Iran security chief sets out demands to end war with US

Iran's National Security Council chief Mohsen Rezaee is putting forward several conditions for ending the war with the United States. In an interview with media company al-Jazeera, the head of Iran's National Security Council says the proposal has been submitted to mediator Qatar, with the United States as the recipient.

Rezaee repeats several points that have come up in talks with the US, but they also indicate positions that Tehran sees as a basis for indirect talks with Washington.

In addition to "all attacks must cease on all fronts," Rezaee emphasizes, among other things, that frozen Iranian assets be released. Iran also demands that the US maritime blockade be ended.

He adds that the war between the Iran-backed Houthi movement and the Saudi-backed government in Yemen must end.

The information has been handed over to Qatari and Pakistani mediators, and Iran is now awaiting a response from US President Donald Trump.
