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.
