Iran calls on US to meet its demands to end war "The only solution is to adopt a language of respect, engage in diplomacy, and address Iran's demands and conditions -- which were outlined in the two-day proposal and remain on the table."

Iran on Tuesday urged the United States to meet its demands in a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, after President Donald Trump spoke of “positive momentum” to end their eight-month war.
“The conflict with Iran will not be resolved through military means, nor by intensifying sanctions,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Iran’s IRNA news agency.
“The only solution is to adopt a language of respect, engage in diplomacy, and address Iran’s demands and conditions — which were outlined in the two-day proposal and remain on the table.” Tehran has proposed reopening Hormuz, which it has blockaded since the start of the war, within two days in return for Washington meeting a raft of conditions. These include ending the war on all fronts, unfreezing Iranian assets, lifting oil sanctions and ending the US counter-blockade of Iranian ports. Trump, whose Republican party last week lost midterm elections in part due to the war, said on Monday that there was “positive momentum” towards ending the conflict after meeting Qatar’s prime minister at the White House. In a post on social media, Trump reiterated that the US was “locked and loaded” but said further strikes were “quite unlikely” given that key US allies in the Gulf “would prefer the status quo”.
