Iran offers to revive June ceasefire if United States honors its commitments
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran will reinstate the June cease-fire with the United States provided Washington also returns to the pact.
President Masoud Pezeshkian told delegates at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Bishkek that Tehran is prepared to re‑engage the interim cease‑fire with the United States if Washington returns to the commitments it made under the June memorandum. He warned that any U.S. step to resume those obligations would be met with a matching Iranian response. The latest round of hostilities included a U.S. strike on Larak Island and Iranian missile launches at two American air bases in Jordan, after which President Donald Trump warned of further strikes. Russian President Vladimir Putin praised Iran’s stance and reiterated Russian support for the bilateral relationship.
