  • Iran said it would comply with the June agreement to end the war if the United States returned to its own commitments.
  • President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran would take corresponding measures immediately if Washington did so.
  • New airstrikes were reported, and two oil tankers were fired upon while leaving the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has offered to return to the framework agreement reached with the United States in June, but only if Washington also resumes its obligations. President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran would then take “corresponding measures immediately.”

Pezeshkian made the statement on Tuesday at a summit in Kyrgyzstan. His remarks came as the military situation continued to deteriorate, with new US airstrikes reported on Tuesday evening.

Two oil tankers were also fired upon in the Strait of Hormuz as they were leaving the waterway. The reports added a new point of tension around a strategically important shipping route.

The competing signals, a diplomatic offer from Tehran alongside reports of fresh attacks, framed the latest developments in the continuing confrontation between Iran and the United States.
