Iran demands a definitive end to the imposed war on its terms – before any discussion on the nuclear issue – while a strategically defeated US has no options but to accept Iran's logical conditions or stumble into catastrophic escalation.

Iran issued statements on security and nuclear policy, reported an increase in Strait of Hormuz transits, and reaffirmed its military preparedness against any new aggression.

Iran reported advances in Pakistan-mediated talks with the US, continued Strait of Hormuz vessel transits, and ongoing regional diplomatic engagements.

Iran's ambassador to Pakistan says a positive step concerning Islamabad-mediated interactions between the Islamic Republic and the United States is possible.

As the US Empire collapses under economic, political, and strategic crises, Iran stamps its unbreakable will by refusing any concessions, breaking the vicious cycle of war, and imposing costs on America for its unprovoked aggression.

Iran’s conditions for an end to the US-Israeli-imposed war are the logical demands of a player with the strategic upper hand: the aggressor must pay reparations, withdraw, lift sanctions, and accept Tehran’s permanent sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.

President Pezeshkian pledged continued support for the armed forces, the IRGC reported the safe passage of 31 ships through the Strait of Hormuz, and Pakistan continued to mediate talks to end the war.
