Iran US Talks Conditions Include Base Removal Demand
- Iran US talks conditions focus on sanctions and Gulf bases
- Strait of Hormuz rights and missile limits in Iran demands
Hyderabad, March 25: Iran has set conditions for possible talks with the United States after reacting cautiously to an announcement by US President Trump on peace negotiations. Earlier, Iran had said there was no point in talks. However, it has now indicated willingness to engage if its proposals are accepted.
Meanwhile, Iran has outlined key demands for any future discussions. The most important condition is the removal of US military bases in Gulf countries. It has also asked for the lifting of sanctions. In addition, Iran wants full rights over the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global shipping route.
Further, Iran has demanded compensation for losses it claims to have suffered due to war. It has also raised concerns about regional tensions. Therefore, it has asked that Israel stop its attacks on Lebanon. Iran has also proposed imposing a tax on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, seeking full control over the route.
At the same time, Iran has offered certain concessions. It has said it will stop manufacturing ballistic missiles for five years. It has also agreed to reduce its uranium stockpile. Moreover, Iran is open to allowing international organisations to inspect its nuclear weapons and uranium facilities.
Additionally, Iran has indicated willingness to take steps against terrorism. It has said it will stop funding groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iraqi militias in neighbouring countries. However, no official announcement has been made on these proposals so far. Reports suggest that these messages have been conveyed through intermediaries.
On the other hand, Iran has also criticised the US approach to negotiations. Iranian military spokesman Ebrahim said, “The United States is negotiating with itself.” This reflects continued differences between the two sides.
The United States has reportedly proposed a 15 point peace plan. However, there has been no progress in the talks so far. The situation remains uncertain as both countries continue to hold firm positions.
