Iran's Demands To End The War Reportedly Include Collecting Fees From Ships Going Through Strait Of Hormuz

Iran's demands to end the war with the U.S. and Israel reportedly include collecting fees from ships going through the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the lifting of all sanctions on the country, according to a new report.

The Wall Street Journal detailed that demands also includes being allowed to keep its missile program without limits and for guarantees that Israel wouldn't restart the war nor attack its largest proxy in the region, Hezbollah.

Another report noted that Tehran has already charged ship operators $2 million to go through the key waterway through which about 20% of the world's energy goes through, citing the cost of the war.

Bloomberg detailed that some ships have paid the charges, but details about the mechanism and currency used are not clear. Payments have been made discreetly, and only a small number of vessels have made it through.

Specialized outlet Argus Media also reported on the development, detailing that parliament member Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Sunday that the country has the right to demand such a charge, which also "shows the power and the right that the Islamic Republic of Iran has."

However, the country's embassy in India said in a social media post that the remarks were false, claiming they "merely reflect the personal views of individuals and do not, in any way, represent the official position of the Islamic Republic of Iran."

The U.S. has also outlined its demands to end the war. Trump confirmed the plan, which has 15 points. Trump confirmed the plan, saying the first point is preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons. "That's number one, two and three," the president added.

Iran, however, mocked the talks, asking whether "the level of your internal conflicts reached the point where you are negotiating with yourselves?"

A report by state media agency Fars added that Iran is currently not accepting a ceasefire, saying it is "not logical to enter such a process with violators of agreements."

Citing a regime insider, the outlet added that the country will focus on "achieving its strategic goals in confrontation with the hostile front, and only if these are fulfilled will the end of the war (not just a ceasefire) be possible."
