Rezaei said the conditions include an immediate end to hostilities on all fronts, the unfreezing of Iranian assets abroad, and the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade that has constrained Iran’s shipping.
He added that Tehran is still consulting with Qatari and Pakistani mediators and is waiting for a response from U.S. President Donald Trump, arguing that it is in Washington’s best interest to accept the terms.
Rezaei claimed that U.S. threats will not produce progress because Iran is prepared for a "decisive war" and asserted that Tehran now understands U.S. military vulnerabilities better than before, having altered its own strategy after the collapse of a previous U.S.–Iran memorandum of understanding.
The security chief also told Al Jazeera that Iran had recently tested an anti‑ship missile near a U.S. aircraft carrier and warned that any further U.S. attacks would be met with strikes on American bases and interests in the region with greater force than before.
An Iranian foreign‑ministry spokesperson, however, said that mediation will not be on the agenda of the upcoming visit by Pakistan’s interior minister to Tehran, emphasizing that the talks will focus on bilateral Iran‑Pakistan relations and that no messages about negotiations will be exchanged.
The statements come amid a broader backdrop of heightened U.S.–Iran tensions since the breakdown of a prior memorandum of understanding, with mediators from Qatar and Pakistan seeking a diplomatic path to de‑escalate the situation.
