Iran Supreme Leader Demands Deal Terms Be Met

Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei stated that conditions set by Iranian officials must be fulfilled to end the conflict during a meeting with Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei. While the remarks initially moved markets, analysts indicate Tehran is offering no actual concessions and is merely restating its longstanding demands for ending the confrontation with Washington.
Why it matters
The Supreme Leader's remarks followed meetings held by Mohsen Rezaei with senior officials from the Mecca defense pact, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan in Tehran. Meanwhile, tensions persist as Washington and Tehran remain divided over maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump rejected a seven-day roadmap proposed by Iran, claiming Tehran is losing so badly and declaring the deal unacceptable.
