Iran Demands Security Guarantees for Ceasefire
In order to sign a ceasefire for the current conflict, Iran is demanding a guarantee that neither Israel nor the United States will attack the Islamic Republic in the future. This concern stems from fears of a resumption of Israeli operations in Iran once the current war concludes. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the only way to end the war is by recognizing Iran’s legitimate rights, receiving reparations, and securing firm international guarantees against future aggression. Meanwhile, the Israel Air Force has continued its strikes on Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) infrastructure across Iran, including in Tehran, alongside strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut.
