Iran Seeks US Guarantees as UN Weighs Veto on Iran

In October 2026, Iran is seeking a tangible guarantee from the United States to end the war, according to Khatibzadeh. Iran warned against abuse of the Security Council by the US and its allies, and said reopening the Strait of Hormuz hinges on US guarantees to end the war. UN member states weighed the latest Security Council veto, this time on Iran. Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned US measures disrupting Iranian air transport, and Japan called for momentum for diplomacy to end the US-Iran war.
