Iran's war-ending demands

Iran's conditions for ending the war include big demands. * The lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions on Iran. * Continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz. * US military withdrawal from the Middle East. * An end to attacks on Iran and its allies. * The release of frozen Iranian assets. * A UN security council resolution making any deal binding. An end to attacks, the lifting of sanctions, and the end of freezes on assets, are natural concomitants of a permanent peace. However, demanding Iranian control over the strait, and total US withdrawal, are in effect demands for the US to surrender. I doubt any US government would accept peace on such terms. Sharing the control between Iran and Oman might make it more acceptable as a demand.
