Iran's Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, claimed in an interview with Al Jazeera that "we are in contact with Qatar, which conveyed our conditions for stopping the war to Washington, and we are awaiting a response from President Trump." According to him, "our conditions are ending the war on all fronts, releasing our frozen funds and lifting the naval blockade." Rezaei claimed that "the actions of the U.S. and Israel give us grounds to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty," but noted that such a decision has not yet been made. He also threatened: "If we are attacked, we will strike American bases and Washington's interests in the region with much greater force."
