Iran has laid out three specific conditions that the United States must meet for a peace agreement to proceed, according to a statement from the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
The demands come as mediators, including Pakistan, have confirmed that Washington and Tehran have reached a mutual understanding on a comprehensive plan aimed at finalizing a peace deal within 60 days.
The introduction of these prerequisites adds a layer of complexity to the diplomatic track.
While the initial breakthrough signaled a significant shift away from sharp rhetoric and raised hopes for a rapid de-escalation in the Middle East, the new conditions suggest that the path to a final accord will require careful negotiation.
Market participants are likely to view these demands as a test of US commitment to the framework.
The potential for a stabilized geopolitical environment in the region has been a key driver for risk sentiment in recent sessions.
