Iran’s security chief Mohsen Rezaei says America must implement Tehran’s conditions in exclusive interview with Al Jazeera.

“The respected Qatari government, as well as the respected Pakistani government, are currently engaged in continuous consultations with us. There are ongoing contacts and meetings. We have informed them of our conditions — and the Americans themselves are aware of our conditions as well… and we are waiting for the Americans to accept and implement them.”

Rezaei says, “Our conditions include the release of our frozen assets. Secondly, they must announce an end to the war on all fronts — refrain from interfering in our internal affairs, stop cooperating with opponents of our revolution, halt any form of aggression against our territory, and lift the naval blockade.”

“America must implement our conditions first, and only then can negotiations follow.”
