Iran-US Conflict Escalates: US Ultimatum Met with Iranian Defiance

The tensions between the United States and Iran have reached a critical juncture, as the US government issues a firm ultimatum to Tehran, demanding that they accept defeat and comply with a 15-point plan outlined by the White House. However, Iranian officials have been quick to dismiss the US demands, describing them as 'maximalist' and unacceptable.

According to reports, the Iranian state television has outlined five key conditions that must be met for peace negotiations to commence. These include the complete withdrawal of US forces from the region, the lifting of all economic sanctions imposed on Iran, and the restoration of Iran's access to the global banking system. Additionally, Iran insists on compensation for the damages caused by the US sanctions and the guarantee that the US will not interfere in Iran's internal affairs.
