March 12, 2026 : As the military confrontation involving the United States, Israel and Iran enters its third week, Tehran has outlined three key conditions for ending the conflict: recognition of its sovereign rights, payment of reparations, and firm guarantees against any future aggression.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the country remains open to peace but stressed that the war can only end if Washington and Tel Aviv accept Iran’s demands. According to Pezeshkian, the conflict began after attacks carried out by the United States and Israel, and any resolution must include clear international assurances for Iran’s security.

Speaking at a campaign-style rally in Kentucky ahead of the upcoming November midterm elections, US President Donald Trump signalled that Washington is not yet ready to halt its military operations. Trump claimed that American forces have gained the upper hand in the conflict and indicated that the campaign against Iran will continue.

The fighting has already led to significant casualties and widespread disruption across the Middle East. At the same time, rising tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have pushed global oil prices sharply higher, as markets fear potential disruptions to one of the world’s most critical energy supply routes.
