Iran has 'necessary will' to end war but seeking guarantees, Pezeshkian tells EU
/100
The article reports Iranian official Pezeshkian told EU interlocutors that Iran has the will to end the war but is seeking guarantees; it also notes US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's comment that coming days will be "decisive" and he would not rule out use of US ground forces. This is a diplomatic signal that could open a negotiation path but, given contemporaneous US rhetoric about force, also leaves significant risk of continued or renewed military action if guarantees are not acceptable.
