Tehran is setting strict conditions, including a comprehensive ceasefire and guarantees from major powers, to negotiate a halt to the ongoing war with Israel and the U.S.
After ten days of warfare involving Israel and the U.S. against Iran, significant damage has occurred in the Middle East, raising concerns over global economic implications and uncertainty regarding the war's future scenarios. There are increasing inquiries about the possibility of halting the conflict or negotiating a long-term truce, amidst the demands from various parties involved in the war. Expert Hussein Royvaran emphasizes that Iran is insisting on a complete ceasefire before considering any truce, stressing that partial or temporary agreements will not be accepted by Tehran.
Moreover, Royvaran outlines that Iran's conditions for a ceasefire include international guarantees, particularly from Russia and China, to ensure that there will be no future attacks against Iran. He asserts that any agreement for a ceasefire must encompass all fronts, including Lebanon and vital border regions, indicating the complexity of the conflict's dynamics. Currently, Iran is juggling three overlapping crises: a direct military confrontation, a regional conflict, and an international crisis in oil and energy, signaling the need for numerous international and regional initiatives aimed at halting the war.
Nevertheless, achieving a comprehensive ceasefire is fraught with challenges. Tehran's strategy appears to adopt a gradual approach towards negotiations, reflecting the intricate web of political and military stakes at play, as well as Iran's desire to secure its interests both locally and internationally.
