Iran Sets 7 Conditions for US Talks, Warns of 'Decisive War' if Rejected

Iran has outlined seven conditions for negotiations with the United States, warning that rejection will lead to a 'decisive war'. The U.S. is expected to respond, with Qatar acting as a mediator.

Iran, through its Supreme National Security Council, has communicated seven conditions to the U.S. administration via Qatar. These conditions, which include Iran's demands for recognition of its rights and sovereignty, were stated by Mohsen Rezaei, head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. Rezaei emphasized that the U.S. has no choice but to accept these terms to avoid further conflict. The U.S. has not yet responded publicly, though sources indicate that the administration is aware of the conditions. Muhsin Rizaee, the Secretary of Iran's National Security Council, stated that the U.S. has no other option but to accept Iran's terms. Qatar is positioned as the intermediary in these talks, with both sides acknowledging its role in facilitating dialogue. While all sources agree on the conditions and the warning of war, there are no direct statements from the U.S. side in the provided excerpts, leaving the immediate response unclear.
