Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Washington caused the collapse of the interim arrangement intended to end the war with the United States and Israel, while calling for both sides to return and conclude the deal. Separately, Iranian Armed Forces Chief of Staff Ali Abdollahi said U.S. forces would not be allowed into the Gulf, and the IRGC warned that limited strikes would draw a response “several times greater,” Al Jazeera reported.
Why it matters
Tehran is pairing an opening for renewed talks with a public warning against U.S. military access to the Gulf, directly affecting whether diplomacy can avert another round of strikes.
