JAKARTA - Iran's ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali, outlined Tehran's demands for ending the conflict in the Middle East, as previously reported by Iranian media.

Meanwhile, the Tasnim news agency, earlier, reported that Iran had sent a formal response to the United States (US) peace plan to end hostilities, and Tehran is currently waiting for Washington's response.

"A lasting ceasefire requires the fulfillment of the following political and legal demands, the end of aggression and terror, and then the objective guarantee that the war will not be repeated," Jalali said, detailing the terms of the Iranian ceasefire through the social media X reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Friday, March 27.

Iran also demands full compensation for all losses and damages that have occurred and "respect for Iran's legal jurisdiction in the Strait of Hormuz to ensure international maritime security".

According to Ambassador Jalali, peace will only be achieved if all of these conditions are met.

He also stressed that Iran would continue to use its right to defend itself until the sources of the threat were completely eradicated.

However, in addition to a number of conditions conveyed by Ambassador Jalali, media reports also mention demands from Tehran that all hostilities should also be ended against Iran's allies in the region.

On February 28, the US and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran, including Tehran, causing infrastructure damage and casualties.

Iran then launched a retaliatory attack against Israeli territory and American military bases in the Middle East as a form of self-defense.
