Apart from the initial hours of the ceasefire, they had not received any reports of ceasefire violations against Iran.

Russia has offered to transfer the Iranian nuclear fuel and keep it for Iran's benefit.

Iran's demands to impose fees on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz come under scrutiny.

Iran also demands guarantees not to be attacked again.
