Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has outlined three key conditions for ending the conflict that erupted following the US-Israel strikes on the Islamic Republic on February 28.
According to reports by Al Jazeera, Pezeshkian specified that the conflict can only be resolved if Iran’s legitimate rights are recognised, compensation is paid, and strong international guarantees are established to prevent future incursions. The Caspian Post also highlighted Pezeshkian’s statement shared on X, where he reaffirmed his commitment to regional peace in discussions with leaders from Russia and Pakistan.
“The only path to ending this war—triggered by the Zionist regime and the US—is recognising Iran’s legitimate rights, paying compensation, and providing robust international guarantees against future aggression,” Pezeshkian said in the post.
Separately, the Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, emphasised that security threats in the Strait of Hormuz stem from the US-Israel attacks. In a call with Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Araghchi warned that military aggression in the region has disrupted shipping and threatens global oil and gas supplies.
Araghchi also condemned the February 28 bombing of Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab, southern Iran, which killed at least 170 people, mostly children. He called on the international community to hold the US accountable, describing the strikes as clear violations of the UN Charter and international law.
Both Iranian leaders stressed the need for global condemnation of what they termed criminal aggression, while Pezeshkian thanked Russia for its supportive stance and highlighted ongoing high-level coordination between Tehran and Moscow.
Jaishankar noted on X that the discussions with Araghchi were “detailed,” though no further specifics were provided.
This escalation has caused global concern over regional stability and energy security, with crude oil prices surging amid fears of further disruptions.
