Iran has set five trust-building conditions for the United States to enter a second round of negotiations to end the war, Fars News Agency reported Tuesday, citing an informed source.
The source said Tehran considers the conditions to be "minimum guarantees" necessary for starting any new negotiations with Washington.
According to the report, Iran's conditions include "ending the war on all fronts, especially Lebanon," lifting sanctions, releasing frozen Iranian assets, compensating for war damage and recognizing Iran's sovereignty rights over the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran also informed Pakistani mediators that the continuation of the U.S. naval blockade in the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman after the ceasefire has further reinforced Tehran's distrust toward negotiations with the United States, the source said.
The report added that the conditions were defined solely within the framework of creating minimum confidence for returning to talks and that Tehran believes new negotiations cannot begin without their practical implementation.
