The agency added that the United States conditions the end of the war on all fronts to progress in negotiations with Iran. According to Fars, even if Tehran accepted these conditions, the threat of new aggression by the United States and Israel would remain.
Iranian demands are “garbage”, says Trump
The American press has said in recent days that the USA and Israel are preparing everything for resume attacks to Iran, possibly in the next few days.
The information comes one day after the visit to Tehran by Pakistan’s Interior Minister, Mohsin Naqvi, allegedly with the aim of conveying a message from the United States to Iran.
According to the Iranian state agency, Iran had previously conditioned any negotiations on the nuclear program on the end of the war on all fronts, the lifting of sanctions imposed against the country, the release of blocked Iranian funds, compensation for war damages and the recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil passes.
On Monday, US President Donald Trump considered Tehran’s proposal “unacceptable” and “a piece of garbage”stating that the truce between the parties, in force since April 8, was “incredibly fragile”.
Friday, on the sidelines of the BRICS ministerial meeting in New Delhi, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared that, despite the impasse in formal negotiations, the two countries continue to exchange messages, albeit “slowly”.
