10:31 AM EDT, 03/26/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Iran sent its formal response to the US ceasefire proposal Wednesday night via intermediaries, Tasnim News Agency reported Thursday, citing an informed source.

Tehran, which is awaiting a reply, said that assassinations by "the enemy" must end, that firm conditions should be set to prevent future wars, that reparations and compensation must be clearly defined and guaranteed, and that the war must end on all fronts and for all resistance groups involved in the fighting across the region, the report said.
