A senior Iranian source indicated that Iran had rejected a proposal for a temporary ceasefire.
The proposal was conveyed through intermediaries. This rejection was reported by Reuters. The same source outlined conditions for initiating talks on a lasting peace. These conditions include the US and Israel ending their strikes, providing guarantees that strikes will not resume, and offering compensation for damages.
No timeline for potential talks was specified.
The statements come amid continued military actions involving Iran, the US, and Israel.
Specific details on the nature or location of the strikes were not provided in the reports. The intermediaries involved in the ceasefire proposal remain unidentified. Iran's rejection highlights a firm stance against temporary measures without broader concessions.
The source emphasized that peace discussions would follow only after the specified conditions are met.
These developments suggest challenges in achieving short-term de-escalation.
Compensation demands could complicate negotiations, as they require agreement on damage assessments. No immediate responses from the US or Israel were mentioned in the coverage.
