Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, expressed distrust towards the United States, asserting that Iran will not consent to any agreement that does not guarantee the rights of its people. This statement coincides with reports that US President Donald Trump has presented a tougher peace proposal aimed at addressing the ongoing Middle East conflict and reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz, which has been blockaded by Iran. The negotiations have been complicated by prior US and Israeli military actions that have significantly impacted Iran's leadership and military capabilities. Despite these strikes, satellite imagery indicates that Iran has been able to restore many of its missile facilities. Furthermore, Iran insists that any peace agreement must also address the situation in Lebanon, where tensions with Israel continue to escalate. The UN Security Council is set to meet to discuss the increasing violence in the region, particularly following recent Israeli military actions.
