Iran has communicated its conditions for re-engaging in negotiations and ending the war to the United States through Qatar, a senior Iranian official said, according to Al Jazeera.

Rezaei’s comments, as reported by Al Jazeera, did not include the specific terms of the conditions Iran has put forward.
No response from the United States was reported at the time of the statement, with Iran describing itself as waiting for President Trump to reply.
