Diplomatic sources told the Lebanese network Al-Mayadeen that the Iranian response includes several demands. According to the sources, “In its response, Iran demands an end to the siege and permission for free oil exports, removal of American sanctions and release of frozen Iranian funds. In addition, there is a clause regarding a cease-fire in Lebanon, which is considered one of the red lines for Tehran.” The sources added that “the Iranian response stipulates that Iran will control the Strait of Hormuz, and negotiations will continue in writing through Pakistan. The proposed agreement includes 30 days of negotiations after the cessation of hostilities to discuss details. Any agreement with Washington must include an immediate end to the war upon its announcement.”
