Iran has set strict conditions to join ceasefire talks with the United States. It has demanded closure of US military bases in the Gulf. Iran also wants sanctions removed and freedom to keep its missile programme. It has asked for war compensation and control rules over the Strait of Hormuz. US officials called these demands unrealistic. Talks are happening through mediators, not directly. President Donald Trump said discussions are ongoing. The US has proposed a 15-point peace plan. It includes limits on Iran’s nuclear and missile programmes. Fighting continues in the region. Airstrikes and missile attacks have been reported in Iran, Israel and nearby areas.
