Press TV hasn’t named the official, nor their rank or title, but reports the official says: "Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met."
Iranian officials have repeatedly said they want a complete end to the war, not just a ceasefire.
According to Press TV, the official outlined five conditions, including:
A complete halt to "aggression and assassinations" by the enemy
The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic
Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations
The conclusion of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region
International recognition and guarantees regarding Iran's sovereign right to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz
