DUBAI, April ‌7 (Reuters) - ​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 U.S. 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.
