According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, the Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces and Commander of the Central Command, Hatem Anbya, outlined five options for Iran to achieve lasting security:
1. A complete end to the war on all fronts, especially in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip; negotiations under the premise of persistent threats are essentially imposing conditions.
2. A complete lifting of sanctions against Iran and the unfreezing of Iranian assets.
3. Payment of reparations for the war imposed on Iran. The Iranian people are not debtors, but creditors.
4. Recognition of Iran's sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, replacing the outdated US security umbrella with the "Hormuz Mechanism."
5. Ensuring no further aggression and establishing endogenous security arrangements in West Asia.
