Iran’s supreme leader, Mojataba Khamenei, has declared that the country will not emerge from the current situation of war, nor peace without Tehran’s demands being met, making it clear that the outcome of the conflict depends on meeting conditions set by the Iranian leadership.

During a meeting with Moshen Rezain, a member of the Supreme Council of National Security, Khamene stressed that Iran must protect the rights and interests of its citizens, and continue supporting what Tehran calls the Front of Resistance.

He also discussed regional security, management of the Hormuz Strait and strengthening relations with neighbouring countries, stressing the need for a clear and long-term strategy, reports media.

Khamenei estimated that the resistance of the Iranian people has weakened the country’s opponents, while urging institutions to communicate actively with citizens and to include them in protecting the country.

His statements come at a time when Tehran is considering the conditions for restarting negotiations with the United States.

Ali Bagheri Kani, official of the Secretariat of the Supreme Council of National Security, has declared that Washington must meet seven conditions before Iran reviews the possibility of returning to the negotiating table. The full list of these conditions has not been made public.

Among the demands previously mentioned by Iranian officials are the outcome of the war on all fronts, the release of frozen Iranian assets and the removal of the US naval blockade.

Mojtaba Khamenei took the lead in Iran following his father’s assassination, ajatoss Ali Khamenei, in the US-American attacks in late February. Since his appointment in March, he has not appeared publicly. /Telegraphy/
