Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has expressed his country’s willingness to end the ongoing war with the United States and Israel, provided certain conditions are fulfilled. According to Iran’s state news agency IRNA, Pezeshkian made the statement during a telephone conversation with European Council President Antonio Costa on Tuesday. He emphasized that Iran seeks no escalation or conflict and that the cessation of aggressive attacks by opposing forces is essential for restoring normalcy.
Pezeshkian stated that Iran’s readiness to end the war depends on guarantees preventing future aggression. He reiterated that Iran did not initiate the hostilities and views halting enemy offensives as the only path to stability. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump hinted that the ongoing Iran war could soon conclude and remarked that the Strait of Hormuz would automatically reopen once U.S. forces withdraw.
The exchange of statements suggests a possible diplomatic opening, though the specific conditions Iran requires and the timeline for any resolution remain unclear.
