Iran has rejected Donald Trump’s “excessive” peace plan and demanded reparations for the war.
The Islamic Republic said the 15-point plan, delivered via a “friendly intermediary”, failed to reflect the balance of power in the conflict.
“Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met,” an official told Press TV, a state-owned channel.
Mr Trump’s demands of Iran included no nuclear enrichment, limits on missiles, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Press TV published Iran’s list of counter demands that included an end to aggression, promises that the war would not restart, reparations, and a guarantee of Iranian “authority” over the strait.
Earlier on Wednesday, Iran denied that direct talks to end the war had started, telling the US: “You are negotiating with yourselves.”
Antonio Guterres, the United Nations secretary-general, said on Wednesday that the war had grown “out of control”.
He added: “The conflict has broken past the limits even leaders thought imaginable. The world is staring down the barrel of a wider war, a rising tide of human suffering, and a deeper global economic shock. This has gone too far.”
