According to the Wall Street Journal, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has made several major demands before agreeing to end the ongoing conflict in the region. These demands cover strategic, military, and financial issues, reflecting Iran’s desire for long-term security and compensation for war-related damages.
The key demands reportedly include:
- New arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz: Iran seeks control over access to this vital waterway and the right to collect fees from passing ships. This would give Tehran significant strategic leverage over global maritime traffic.
- Strong guarantees against renewed conflict: Iran wants firm assurances that war will not restart, along with a cessation of Israeli attacks on Hezbollah positions.
- Closure of U.S. military bases in the Gulf: Tehran has demanded that all American military installations in the Persian Gulf be shut down as a condition for peace.
- Financial compensation for wartime damages: Iran is seeking reparations for losses incurred during the ongoing conflict, including infrastructure and military expenditures.
These conditions indicate that Iran is aiming for a comprehensive settlement that addresses both security concerns and financial losses. Analysts note that meeting these demands would require significant concessions from Israel and the United States, making diplomatic negotiations complex.

The situation highlights the challenges of achieving peace in the region, as Iran leverages its strategic position and military capabilities to negotiate from strength. Any resolution would likely require extensive international mediation and guarantees to ensure compliance from all parties involved.
