Tehran says conditions for ending war sent to US via Qatar
BREAKING: President Trump told Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent @TreyYingst that he is in a “deciding mode” and “very big things” are going to happen in the near future regarding the US-Iran war.
Trump said, “My question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up? They better behave.” Trump also said he’s “open” to meeting with Iran’s president after Tehran sent a list of war-ending demands. |
President Trump says there’s three choices on the table for the war: “wiping Iran out,” “letting them rot economically” or “making a deal.”
The Islamic Republic appears deeply concerned that another major U.S.-Israeli strike campaign could begin at any moment. Internal reports say police stations, security buildings and military facilities across Tehran have been evacuated, with forces deployed into surrounding streets and major intersections.
Iran has launched a major mobilisation drive to train and arm volunteer civilians who would serve as part of state security under the Basij militia arm of the IRGC, sparking fears of renewed conflict with the US.
- Iran warns against any new large-scale strikes by the United States and its allies saying it received information such a plan is being prepared.
- Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says Iran “must push the enemy back and deal devastating blows using our full military might” before any negotiations with the United States.
- A Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen’s Houthis says it intercepted a ballistic missile aimed at Riyadh and foiled other attacks on the cities of Bish, Taif, Farasan, and Yanbu.

- Iran’s security chief Moshen Rezaei tells Al Jazeera conditions for ending war – stopping attacks on all fronts, release of frozen Iranian funds, end of blockade – have been sent to US via mediator Qatar, and are awaiting a response from US President Donald Trump.
- Yemen’s Houthis say attacked what they called “sensitive” sites in Riyadh with ballistic missiles, drones, in addition to an ARAMCO facility in Yanbu. Saudi Arabia has not yet confirmed these claims.
- Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his Pakistani counterpart, Ishaq Dar, stress “the importance of uninterrupted energy supplies and the safe passage of ships” during phone call.
- Fighting between Yemen’s Houthi group and the Saudi-backed internationally recognised government intensifies, with battles reported east of Marib and around Taiz.
The Iran-backed Houthis are now threatening to strike Turkey and Pakistan if they intervene militarily in Yemen. Senior Houthi official Mohammed al-Bukhaiti warned both countries they would be struck with an “iron fist” if they enter the conflict.
