[Iran Reveals Preconditions for New Round of Negotiations, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister States U.S. Coercion Policies Cannot Bring Peace] Golden Finance reported on May 13, citing CCTV, that Iran announced on May 12 local time that a source familiar with the matter disclosed five preconditions for a new round of negotiations between Iran and the United States—namely: 'ending all wars on all fronts, especially in Lebanon,' 'lifting sanctions against Iran,' 'releasing Iran's frozen funds,' 'compensating for war-related damages,' and 'recognizing Iran's dominance over the Strait of Hormuz.' On the same day, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Gharibabadi stated on social media that U.S. coercion policies cannot bring peace. He emphasized that Iran's principles are clear: permanently ending wars and preventing their recurrence; compensating for damages; lifting blockades; removing illegal sanctions; and respecting Iran's rights. He criticized the U.S. for simultaneously discussing ceasefires while maintaining blockades, talking about diplomacy while intensifying sanctions, and claiming to promote regional stability while exporting military forces to the region.
