Iran rejects temporary ceasefire, sets conditions for US talks - Reuters

Iran has rejected any temporary ceasefire with the United States and set conditions for talks on “a lasting peace,” Reuters reported, citing a senior Iranian source.

The source said Tehran’s preconditions include an immediate halt to US and Israeli strikes, guarantees that attacks will not be repeated, and compensation for damages caused during the conflict.

The source added that under a permanent peace deal, Tehran is demanding fees for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route.

The transit fees for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz would vary depending on vessel type, cargo and prevailing conditions, according to the source.
