Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has stated that his country is prepared to engage in peace talks with the United States, provided that Washington adheres to the commitments made in June. Addressing a summit of the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, Pezeshkian accused the US of breaking the June 17 framework for peace talks.
He noted that Washington had made excessive demands and failed to honor its commitments, leading to Iran's response. Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran would immediately reciprocate if the US returns to its commitments. The US, meanwhile, has been ramping up economic pressure on Tehran following recent exchanges of fire. US President Donald Trump announced new, stringent sanctions, while the US has retaliated against Iran's attacks on its bases in Jordan.
Iran's attacks have disrupted US efforts to isolate the regime from the dollar-based financial system.
