Iran criticizes US demands in negotiations to end conflict

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei criticized the U.S. for its “unreasonable” demands in ongoing negotiations to end the two-month conflict, asserting that Iran’s proposal to resolve the situation and unblock the Strait of Hormuz is both legitimate and generous. He emphasized the need for a ceasefire, lifting the U.S. blockade, and releasing frozen Iranian assets. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s terms as “totally unacceptable,” leading to increased oil prices amid concerns over supply disruptions.
