Iran President Reiterates Guarantees Sought Before Ending War

Hagar Chemali, Former-Director for Syria and Lebanon at the National Security Council, and CEO and Founder of Greenwich Media Strategies says she doesn't envision a result where Iran retains control of the Strait of Hormuz. On Tuesday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated that Iran wants certain requirements to be met before it ends the war against the US and Israel. On March 25, the country outlined those five points, which haven’t been changed since. They are summarized here: A complete halt to US and Israeli attacks on Iran The conclusion of the war across all fronts, including conflicts against Iran-backed groups throughout the Middle East Pledges that the US and Israel won’t attack Iran again in future, including the establishment of mechanisms to ensure this Payment of war damages and reparations International recognition of Iran’s sovereign right to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz (Source: Bloomberg)
