Tehran, September 19, 2026, 11:02 PM — Regnum News Agency. Iranian authorities conveyed to the United States, through a Qatari intermediary, the terms for ending the military conflict. This was announced by Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei to Al Jazeera on September 19.

“We are in contact with the Qatari mediator, who conveyed to Washington our conditions for ending the conflict,� Rezai clarified.

He indicated that Iran's demands include a cessation of hostilities on all fronts, lifting the naval blockade, and the unfreezing of Iranian assets. Rezi added that Tehran is currently awaiting a response from US President Donald Trump.

A new escalation in the Middle East began after the US resumed military operations against Iran on July 10. Four days later, Washington announced a complete naval blockade of Iranian ports and carried out several series of strikes against Iranian targets. In response to the US actions, Iranian forces again began attacking American bases in the region.

On August 20, US President Donald Trump declared that the American administration was launching an unprecedented "economic war and isolation" against Iran. He claimed that no one had offered the Islamic Republic more opportunities to reach an agreement than he had. In response, Iran threatened retaliatory measures against neighboring countries if they joined US sanctions against Tehran.

On August 25, Iranian and US officials agreed to a ceasefire. However, late in the evening of August 30, the US and Iran exchanged missile strikes. The US attacked Lark in Hormozgan Province, killing two people and injuring two more. In response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the destruction of US fighter jet sites in Jordan.

On September 17, Mohammad Bagher Zolqadr, Iran's political adviser, said the Strait of Hormuz would not open to shipping as long as US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were in power.
