Iran has rejected a U.S. proposal to end the war and set out its conditions for any cease-fire, Iran state broadcaster Press TV said Wednesday, citing a senior official.

"Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met," Press TV quoted the official as saying. "No negotiations will be held prior to that."

Iran is demanding an end to attacks by the U.S. and Israel as well as concrete guarantees preventing the recurrence of the war, Press TV quoted the official as saying. The country also wants recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and financial compensation for damages caused by the weekslong conflict. Tehran also wants Israel and the U.S. to stop attacks on its allies across the region, the official said.

In a proposal communicated through Pakistan, the U.S. offered to end the war if Iran dismantled its main nuclear facilities, stopped uranium enrichment and support for regional allies and reopened the strait to shipping traffic. In exchange, Washington said all sanctions on Iran could be lifted.
