Masoud Pezeshkian says Iran has outlined three key conditions that could end the ongoing war and restore regional stability.

According to Pezeshkian, a ceasefire would require recognition of Iran’s “legitimate rights,” compensation for damages caused by attacks, and strong international guarantees to prevent future aggression.

The Iranian president said he reaffirmed Iran’s position during recent discussions with leaders from Russia and Pakistan, emphasizing that Tehran remains committed to peace but insists that its political and security demands must be addressed.

His remarks come amid rising tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel, as diplomatic efforts continue behind the scenes to prevent a wider regional conflict.

U.S. House Blocks Release of Congressional Sexual Misconduct Records

On March 4, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 357–65 to effectively block a resolution introduced by Rep.

Nancy Mace that sought to release investigation records related to sexual misconduct and harassment allegations involving members of Congress.

Instead of allowing disclosure, lawmakers voted to refer the resolution (H.Res. 1100) to the House Ethics Committee — a procedural move widely viewed as shelving the proposal indefinitely.

Mace introduced the resolution after allegations surfaced involving Rep.

Tony Gonzales and a former staffer. She argued that over $17 million in taxpayer funds have previously been used by Congress to quietly settle harassment claims and that the public has a right to know which lawmakers were involved.

The vote to block the release included 175 Republicans and 182 Democrats.

Following the vote, Mace posted:

"The loudest voices screaming ‘Release the Epstein Files’ just voted to bury the sexual harassment files of members of Congress."

Only 65 lawmakers — 38 Republicans and 27 Democrats — voted in favor of releasing the records.
