Iran has said it will refrain from carrying out further attacks as long as the United States continues to hold back from launching new military operations against Tehran, according to reports citing Iranian officials.
The statement comes after a period of escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, with both sides exchanging military actions in recent weeks. Iranian officials said their response would depend on whether Washington maintains its pause on strikes.
A senior Iranian source said Tehran’s position remains based on responding to attacks but that the country would stop further actions if the United States does the same. The development has raised hopes of a temporary reduction in tensions, although both sides remain cautious.
The situation has attracted international attention as diplomatic efforts continue to prevent further escalation. Officials involved in negotiations have warned that major disagreements remain unresolved, particularly over security issues and regional tensions.
Iran’s latest comments come amid broader efforts to stabilize the situation in the Middle East, with international mediators working to encourage dialogue and avoid a wider conflict.
