Iran has set preconditions for ​talks on a lasting ‌peace with the United States, a senior official ​told Reuters on Tuesday, ​including an immediate halt ⁠to strikes, guarantees ​that attacks will not be ​repeated, and compensation for damage.

The official said Tehran rejects ​any ceasefire with ​the US that is only temporary.

He ‌added ⁠that a permanent peace deal should allow Iran to demand fees ​for ​ships ⁠passing through the Strait of Hormuz, ​which would vary ​depending ⁠on the type of ship, its cargo, and ⁠prevailing ​conditions.
