NEW: Iranian officials and media continue to demand US guarantees and concessions ahead of any US-Iran deal, likely to reduce US leverage before any substantive negotiations over points of key disagreement between the United States and Iran, such as Iran’s nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz. The regime is seeking immediate economic relief as one of these preconditions. (1/2)
Other Key Takeaways:
Iran is continuing to leverage its support for Lebanon in order to delay substantive negotiations with the United States over its nuclear program and the strait. Iran has suspended negotiations until a complete ceasefire in Lebanon is reached.
Iran and the United States exchanged limited fire over the past 24 hours after the IRGC attempted to stop tankers from crossing the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC Public Relations Office claimed on June 5 that four oil tankers attempted to violate Iran’s illegal traffic separation scheme under US military “guidance.”
