Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baqaei, mentioned that significant progress has been achieved in discussions with the US, although no fixed timeline has been established for finalizing any agreements. Baqaei highlighted the inconsistency in the US’ political behavior, stating that rapid shifts in stance complicate negotiations. He emphasized the disorganized decision-making process in Washington, attributing it to resignations, congressional opposition, and internal conflicts.
Baqaei clarified that no specific deadline has been imposed for concluding the understanding, underscoring Iran’s commitment to safeguarding its national interests. Within a 60-day framework, discussions are planned to address various aspects, including nuclear matters, with a focus on ending hostilities. The spokesperson reiterated that Iran’s current focus is not on nuclear details but on the broader goal of peace.
US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, acknowledged the progress made in diplomatic efforts with Iran, hinting at positive developments concerning the Strait of Hormuz. Rubio reiterated the US stance that Iran must never possess nuclear weapons, emphasizing the need for a peaceful resolution. He outlined efforts to ensure open access to the Strait of Hormuz without impediments, contingent on Iran’s compliance with international norms.
