Iran Says It Sent Conditions to End War to US via Qatar; Rezaei Warns Trump Threats 'Will Not Yield Results'

Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, told Al Jazeera in an interview published Saturday that Tehran had conveyed a formal set of conditions to Washington through Qatari mediators for ending the war — ending fighting on all fronts, unfreezing Iranian financial assets, and lifting the US naval blockade — and was now awaiting a response from President Trump. Rezaei said consultations were continuing with Qatari and Pakistani mediators, argued it was in Washington's interest to accept Iran's terms, and said Trump's threats 'will not yield results,' adding Iran was prepared for a 'decisive war.' The statement followed Trump's September 17 remark that he was approaching a 'major decision' on whether to resume large-scale strikes on Iran. With the Strait of Hormuz still the central variable behind the oil-driven inflation shock running through Fed policy this year, the unresolved standoff kept the war-risk premium in crude and Treasury yields alive heading into the new week.
