Iran Clarifies Negotiation Foundation: U.S. Must Honor Comprehensive Ceasefire
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson recently outlined the country's clear stance regarding negotiations on the current situation. He emphasized that achieving a comprehensive ceasefire, particularly the cessation of U.S. military operations across all relevant fronts, is the indispensable foundation and core component for initiating any subsequent dialogue.
Breaching Commitment Equals Failure of Responsibility
The spokesperson further stated that any U.S. action or position deviating from its commitment to a comprehensive ceasefire would be viewed as a failure to fulfill its due responsibilities and obligations. This statement solidifies Iran's firm principle of directly linking U.S. conduct to the possibility of negotiations.
Regional Solidarity Strengthens
Concurrently, the spokesperson highlighted the unprecedented closeness of solidarity between Iran and the people of Lebanon. He noted that this bond, rooted in shared concerns and interests, appears particularly robust and profound at this historical moment.
Specific Arrangements To Be Finalized
Regarding operational details such as the specific timing and location for negotiations with the U.S., which are of external interest, the spokesperson did not provide direct information. He explained that these details, including the specific roster of the negotiation delegation, will be officially announced once the delegation's itinerary is finalized.
