   Iran seeks US diplomatic path ahead of Putin meeting

   Iran's president has offered to resume peace talks with the United States on the condition that Washington honors commitments made in an interim deal. This diplomatic overture precedes a scheduled meeting between the Iranian leader and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The move attempts to lower tensions following several weeks of mutual strikes and counter-strikes between Tehran and Washington.

   Why it matters

   The request for reciprocity comes during a period of active military conflict between the two nations. Success depends on whether the US views the offer as a genuine shift or a tactical move before Iran coordinates with Russia.
