Iran has informed regional intermediaries that any ceasefire necessitates a US guarantee against future strikes by the US or Israel, with President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasizing legitimate rights and reparations as the path to peace.Meanwhile, the US administration continues its campaign against Iran, with President Donald Trump noting Iran's new leadership has signaled a willingness to talk, despite ongoing hostilities including Iranian missile and drone attacks and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.A previous US investigation into a missile strike in Minab, likely killing 168 civilians, and the release of a satirical video by the White House depicting US strikes have drawn criticism, while satellite images show significant damage to Iran's Parchin nuclear facility.Regional officials fear further Israeli strikes after the current conflict, and although back-channel talks are exploring guarantees, it remains uncertain if the US will commit or compel
Israel to do so.
