Iran’s President Sets Terms to End War: Is an Off-Ramp in Sight?

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has outlined terms for ending the war with the United States and Israel, calling for recognition of Iran’s legitimate rights, payment of reparations, and firm international guarantees against future aggression. This shift in stance from Tehran comes as pressure mounts on the US to halt the costly conflict, with Iran demonstrating its ability to inflict economic pain through retaliatory strikes and disruptive tactics.

Pezeshkian’s statement reflects a potential willingness for diplomacy, while Iran’s military continues to show defiance through attacks on US and Israeli assets.
