【Iran Proposes Truce Conditions, the US Must Provide an Assurance】
The Iranian president later set conditions for ending the war: recognizing Iran's legitimate rights, paying compensation, and providing international assurance to prevent future aggression. It is currently unclear what Trump's attitude is towards these public conditions. However, in reality, these conditions are not feasible. If Trump agreed, what would be the purpose of his attack on Iran? Would that not be a self-admission of failure? If Iran persists, it is likely that Trump would say: "Then let's keep fighting!"
However, Iran has conveyed another message to the US privately. According to Bloomberg, citing statements from informed officials, Iran has indicated through intermediaries that, in order to reach a ceasefire, the US must guarantee that neither they nor Israel will launch attacks against Iran in the future.
Informants said that after being hit twice, Iran is really scared. They are especially worried that after this war ends, Israel might attack again at any time. It is currently unclear whether the US is willing to make such a commitment to Iran, and whether the Trump administration has the ability to require Israel to make the same guarantee.
But from a more realistic perspective, although the ultimate goals of the US and Israel differ, their basic goal is to eliminate Iran's nuclear capability and limit its missile power. If Iran's nuclear capability is not completely destroyed in this war, and its missile capability is largely preserved, it means that Iran can start related activities anytime in the future. If the US and Israel make security assurances to Iran, wouldn't that be self-restraint!
