Iran sets three conditions for ending war

Iran sets three conditions to end the war, including reparations and guarantees against future attacks amid ongoing U.S. and Israeli strikes.

Iran on Wednesday (March 11, 2026), the 12th day of the war, set three conditions for ending the conflict, including guarantees against future attacks even as the U.S. and Israel continued their air strikes in the country.

“Talking to leaders of Russia and Pakistan, I reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to peace in the region,” President Masoud Pezeshkian wrote in a social media post. “The only way to end this war — ignited by the Zionist regime and U.S. — is recognising Iran’s legitimate rights, payment of reparations, and firm international guarantees against future aggression,” he said.

During nuclear talks ahead of the war, Iran had consistently argued that as a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), nuclear enrichment is “a legitimate right”. This was also the first time a senior Iranian leader called for reparations as a condition to end the war.

On Tuesday (March 10, 2026), the Kremlin said Russian President Vladimir Putin talked to Mr. Pezeshkian and called for “immediate de-escalation”. The Russian President reaffirmed his principled position in favour of a swift de-escalation of the conflict and its resolution through political means. Mr. Pezeshkian thanked Russia for its support, particularly for providing humanitarian aid to Iran,” the Kremlin said.

Since the U.S. and Israel began this war on February 28, assassinating Iran’s Supreme Leader and several other top officials, Iran has maintained that it would not talk to the U.S. and accept a ceasefire.
