Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has outlined three conditions to end the ongoing war with the United States and Israel. These conditions include recognizing Iran's legitimate rights, payment of reparations, and firm international guarantees against future aggression.
Pezeshkian reaffirmed Iran's commitment to peace in West Asia and stated that the only way to end the war is by meeting these conditions, which he believes were ignited by the 'Zionist regime' and the United States.
Despite Pezeshkian's remarks, Iran continued to pound shipping traffic and energy infrastructure, causing oil prices to rise to $100 a barrel. The United States and Israel also continued their strikes on the Islamic Republic, with no indication of de-escalation.
The conflict has flouted a UN Security Council resolution to not hit neighboring nations, with fresh attacks reported in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. Israel has also launched a 'wide-scale wave of strikes in Iran' and hit Lebanon, targeting Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters.
United States President Donald Trump has stated that the US must 'finish the job' and is unwilling to back down.
