Iran Pledges Reciprocity if US Revives June Deal

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian offered a diplomatic opening to the United States on Tuesday, stating that Tehran would "immediately" reciprocate if Washington returns to its commitments under a June memorandum of understanding aimed at ending their ongoing war. The remarks, delivered at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, came just days after the two nations exchanged direct military strikes for the first time in over a month. Pezeshkian's comments, reported by Iranian state media, represent a clear olive branch following a recent escalation.
