What was said

"Iran has made its sort of 5 non-negotiable points quite clear: lift the sanctions, give us back the money that you've stolen, that, you know, we purchased weapons, you never delivered them, so give those back, recognize our control over the Strait of Hormuz, pay reparations, and last but not least, stop the war against— stop the Israelis from killing Palestinians and Lebanese."

Larry Johnson outlined Iran's five ironclad demands for any negotiations with the U.S., including full sanctions relief, return of stolen assets, recognition of Iranian control over Hormuz, war reparations, and cessation of Israeli violence against Palestinians and Lebanese. Johnson emphasized Iran has not wavered from these positions, directly paralleling Russia's unchanged conditions on Ukraine, leaving no room for compromise.
