Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected calls for a ceasefire and laid out Tehran's conditions for ending the war in an interview with Japan's Kyodo News.
He noted that the conflict must end completely and permanently with guarantees against future attacks and compensation for damages.
Araghchi also offered to facilitate safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz for Japanese vessels.
Iran rejects ceasefire, demands permanent end and compensation
"We do not accept a ceasefire because we do not want what happened last year to be repeated. The war must end completely and permanently, and guarantees must be given that this situation will not happen again. The damages inflicted on Iran must also be compensated," Araghchi said.
He described the war as "imposed on Iran," saying Tehran had been engaged in negotiations with the United States when the attacks began on Feb. 28.
"This was an illegal, unprovoked act of aggression. Iran's response constitutes self-defense and will continue for as long as it takes," he added.
Araghchi said several countries are attempting to mediate and that Iran is "open to any initiative" and willing to consider proposals.
However, he suggested the United States has yet to demonstrate its readiness for a genuine resolution.

Hormuz is 'open': Japan can coordinate for safe passage
On the Strait of Hormuz, Araghchi stated that Iran has not closed the waterway.
"We have not closed the strait. It is open. We have only imposed restrictions on vessels belonging to countries involved in attacks against Iran," he said.
He added that Iran is prepared to ensure safe passage for countries such as Japan if they coordinate with Tehran.
Japan relies on the Middle East for over 90% of its crude oil imports, most of which travel through the Strait.
Araghchi, a former ambassador to Japan, said the issue of navigation through the strait by Japanese vessels was discussed in his recent talks with Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and that discussions are continuing.
In their most recent conversation, Motegi urged Iran to ensure the safety of all vessels in the strait.
A Japanese government official said that "directly negotiating with the Iranian side" is the "most effective way" to lift the blockade, while noting the need to avoid provoking the United States.
A Japanese Foreign Ministry official said Tokyo would carefully assess Araghchi's remarks, adding that even if Japanese vessels are able to sail through, the surge in energy prices will remain.
Vessels from countries including India, Pakistan, and Türkiye have reportedly passed through the strait.

Donald Trump told everyone that Iran gave him a big gift, but it's a secret and he can't tell us what it is.
Stone cold dementia.
Unpredictable loose cannon on wheels.
Easily influenced by really bad people with really bad intentions.
Easily influenced by cash and promises of cash.
Clueless in the Oval Office.
Here's what Iran told Trump: "For years, we have been awaiting the Americans' entry. We have just one message for the American soldiers: Come closer."

REPORTER: Are you going to send Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to do direct negotiations with the Iranians?
TRUMP: Yeah. Well, we're in negotiations, as it turned out.
And now you've seen what I said yesterday was exactly correct.
We're in negotiations right now.
They're doing it along with Marco, JD.
We have a number of people doing it.
And the other side, I can tell you, they'd like to make a deal.
REPORTER: What makes you trust them?
TRUMP: I don't trust anybody.
I don't trust you.
REPORTER: Why do you say what makes you trust?
TRUMP: Do you think I trust them?
I don't trust them.
REPORTER: Then why bother talking to them?
TRUMP: Because they're going to make a deal.
They're going to make a deal.
They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually.
They gave us a present.
And the present arrived today.
And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money.
And I'm not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.
And they gave it to us.
And they said they were going to give it.
So that meant one thing to me: we're dealing with theright people.
Is that nuclear-related? No. It wasn't nuclear-related.
It was oil and gas-related.
And it was a very nice thing they did.
But what it showed me is that we're dealing with theright people.
The present, the gift they made to us, was very significant.
And they said they were going to do it.
And it happened.
And they're the only ones that could have done it.
REPORTER: Was it related to the Strait of Hormuz and the flow of?
TRUMP: Yeah. It was related to the flow and to the Strait. Yeah. It was.
REPORTER: Are you negotiating on who's going to control the Strait from now on? Are you?
TRUMP: No.
We're going to....we can....we'll have control of anything we want.
Iran's Demands For Ending the War:
(according to The Wall St. Journal)
*Closure of all US bases in the Gulf
*Guarantees of no further attacks
*End to Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah
*Lifting all sanctions on Iran
*War damage reparations.
*No restrictions on the missile program
*Iran to collect fees from ships that transit the waterway, as Egypt does now with the Suez Canal
Iran Sets High Bar in Cease-Fire Talks: Here’s What Tehran Is Asking For
Iranian representatives have let the Trump administration know they have a high bar for re-entering negotiations for a cease-fire deal.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has consolidated power within the shattered Iranian regime and is making demands such as the closure of all American bases in the Gulf and reparations for attacks on Iran, said people familiar with the matter.
Other demands include:
A new order for the Strait of Hormuz that would allow Iran to collect fees from ships that transit the waterway, as Egypt does now with the Suez Canal.
Guarantees that the war wouldn’t restart and an end to Israel’s strikes on the Iran-aligned Lebanese militia Hezbollah.
Lifting all sanctions on Iran.
Permitting Iran to keep its missile program with no negotiations to limit it.
A U.S. official called the demands ridiculous and unrealistic.
The posturing will make reaching a deal with Tehran harder than before Trump started the war, Arab and U.S. officials said.
They said the first messages of the new diplomatic round came from Middle Eastern intermediaries late last week, and the U.S. and Iran aren’t in direct contact.
The White House threatened further attacks on Iran if Tehran doesn’t make a deal to end the conflict. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the U.S. is negotiating to end the war in Iran, but declined to say whom it has held talks with. The U.S. and Israel have temporarily removed two senior Iranian officials from their list of officials to eliminate as they explore possible peace talks, U.S. officials said.
Iran is privately showing a willingness to hear out diplomatic efforts to end the war, Arab mediators and other people familiar with the matter said, after Iranian state media reported that Tehran rejected the U.S. proposal to end the war. They cautioned the odds of success remain low, as both sides have staked out maximalist positions and Iran remains highly suspicious of negotiations after two previous efforts at diplomacy ended in war.
The Trump administration doesn’t plan to seek congressional authorization for the war in Iran.
Iran signaled it could move to close or control a second strait, the Bab al-Mandeb, with the help of Yemen’s Houthi rebels.
The U.S. has begun to amass ground troops near Iran. Here’s what we know.
Gulf countries said they were targeted by drone and missile attacks, including a strike on Kuwait’s international airport.
