* The following outlines the core U.S. demands presented to Iran during negotiations. Each demand constitutes a condition for avoiding military confrontation. Failure to comply is expected to trigger escalating military and financial measures.
* While negotiations are underway, President Trump has maintained maximum pressure. The current U.S. military posture in the region exceeds that of 2003, signaling that diplomacy is backed by credible force.
* Demand #1: Complete prohibition of a nuclear program. This includes both military and civilian tracks. Any narrowly defined civilian exception would require intrusive, continuous monitoring, including direct U.S. involvement in inspections.
* Demand #2: Full dismantlement of Iran’s ballistic missile program. This is assessed by Washington as the most immediate strategic threat.
* Iran’s ballistic missiles are capable of exo-atmospheric flight and precise re-entry, significantly complicating detection and interception. Even advanced systems such as THAAD offer only partial interception reliability.
* The United States is demanding the destruction of these systems or their transfer to a verified third party. Iran is assessed to possess several thousand ballistic missiles, creating serious concerns regarding concealment and verification.
* Demand #3: Termination of Iranian interference in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region. Tehran’s political, financial, and security penetration of Iraq since 2003 is now an explicit element of the negotiations.
* Demand #4: Accountability for regional enablers. Iraqi officials and entities linked to Iran, the IRGC, or affiliated militias face targeted sanctions, asset freezes, travel bans, and terrorism-related designations.
* Iraqi financial institutions that facilitate such networks are at risk of severe penalties, including exclusion from the SWIFT system, a measure that would effectively paralyze Iraq’s banking and trade operations.
* Demand #5: Human and civil rights inside Iran, aligned with the demands of the Iranian people. This includes an immediate halt to the killing of protesters and dissidents, protection of basic civil liberties, and measurable improvements in human rights conditions.
