(TJV NEWS) Iran has expressed a readiness to bring its conflict with the United States and Israel to an end, but only if strict conditions are met, and binding guarantees are put in place, according to a report by AFP.

Tehran indicated what officials described as a “necessary will” to stop the war suggesting that a diplomatic off-ramp may be possible. Still, Iranian leaders made clear they will not agree to any ceasefire without assurances that hostilities will not resume.

At the heart of Iran’s position is a demand for long-term security guarantees. Officials have stressed that any agreement must include protections against future military action by both Washington and Israel, underscoring deep skepticism after repeated rounds of escalation.

Iran is also seeking broader concessions, including an end to ongoing strikes and recognition of its regional interests. The government has signaled that without these elements, any deal would be viewed as incomplete and unlikely to hold.

While the rhetoric points to a potential opening for de-escalation, Iranian officials have downplayed the idea that formal negotiations are currently underway. Instead, they acknowledge only indirect communication, highlighting the fragile and uncertain nature of any diplomatic progress.

The development has raised cautious hopes internationally that the conflict could eventually wind down. However, significant gaps remain between the sides, particularly over the scope of guarantees and the terms of a potential agreement.

For now, Iran’s message is clear: it may be willing to end the war—but only on terms that ensure it won’t have to fight it again.
