#OOTT | #Iran 's Press TV Citing Official: Iran Will End The War At A Time Of Own Choosing Only If Own Conditions Met - Iran Reviewed Proposal And Considers Them Excessive - Iran Will Not Allow US Trump To Dictate The Timing Of The End Of The War Iran's Press TV, citing official: The first condition for the end of the war is the end of attacks and assassinations Iran rejects US proposal, lays out five conditions for ending imposed war: Source Iran has responded negatively to an American proposal aimed at ending the ongoing imposed war, insisting that it will only occur on Tehran's own terms and timeline, a senior political-security official told Press TV on Wednesday. The official with knowledge of the details of the proposal, speaking exclusively to Press TV, said Iran will not allow US President Donald Trump to dictate the timing of the war's end. "Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met," the official said, emphasizing Tehran's resolve to continue its defense and inflict "heavy blows" on the enemy until its demands are fulfilled. According to the official, Washington has been pursuing negotiations through various diplomatic channels, putting forward proposals that Tehran views as "excessive" and disconnected from the reality of America's failure on the battlefield. The official drew parallels with two previous rounds of negotiations held in the spring and winter of 2025, characterising them as deceptive. In both instances, the official stressed, the United States had no genuine intention to engage in meaningful dialogue and subsequently carried out military aggression against Iran.
