Iran has rejected a 15-point US proposal for a truce, setting out its own five conditions for bringing an end to the conflict in a blow to hopes for a quick resolution to the war.

Tehran’s conditions include a demand for guarantees that the US and Israel won’t resume their attacks, reparations for war damages and recognition of its authority over the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reported today.
