WANA (May 12) – An informed source stated that Iran has conveyed five confidence-building preconditions to the United States for the start of a second round of negotiations, emphasizing that no talks will take place unless these measures are implemented in practice.

 

According to the source, the conditions outlined by Tehran are considered the minimum guarantees necessary to establish trust before any return to negotiations with Washington.

 

The five preconditions reportedly include “an end to conflicts on all fronts, particularly in Lebanon,” “the lifting of anti-Iran sanctions,” “the release of Iran’s frozen assets,” “compensation for war-related damages,” and “recognition of Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.”

 

The source also said Iran informed the Pakistani mediator that the continued naval blockade in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman, even after a ceasefire, has further reinforced Tehran’s view that negotiations with the United States cannot be trusted.

 

According to the source, these demands are intended solely as minimum trust-building measures for resuming dialogue, and Tehran believes that without their practical implementation, entering new negotiations would not be possible.

 

The source added that Iran presented the five conditions in response to a 14-point proposal from the United States, which informed sources described as one-sided and primarily designed to serve Washington’s interests.

 

Those sources further claimed that the U.S. was attempting to achieve through negotiations objectives it had failed to secure during the conflict.
