Iran's president offers to return to June ceasefire if US does the same

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated at the SCO summit in Kyrgyzstan on September 1, 2026, that Iran would return to the June interim ceasefire agreement with the United States if Washington honored its commitments first. His remarks followed the first exchange of fire between the two countries in over a month, with the U.S. striking Iranian targets on Larak Island and Iran retaliating against U.S. forces in Jordan. President Donald Trump said there would be a response but that the strikes did not signal a return to full-scale war.
