Iran demanded a complete end to the war in negotiations with the US. The Tehran administration specifically conditioned a comprehensive ceasefire on all fronts including Lebanon and the provision of maritime security in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.
This statement came at a time of increasing maritime tensions in the region and intensified sanctions and military threats between the US and Iran. The Iranian military warned that ships belonging to countries enforcing US sanctions might face difficulties passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards threatened heavy retaliation if Iranian tankers or ships were targeted. Additionally, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned French and British warships not to accompany US movements in the region.
US President Donald Trump stated that the Washington administration has the capacity to strike any target in Iran, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war would not end unless enriched uranium in Iran is not removed from the country.
Following these developments in the negotiations, concrete steps are expected to be taken to ensure maritime security and a ceasefire in the region. However, no official agreement or timetable has been announced yet. The progress of the process and the positions of the parties will become clear with statements to be made in the upcoming period.
