▲ Tehran, the capital of Iran
Iran is conveying its desired terms and detailed requirements for a cease-fire agreement to a Qatari delegation currently visiting the country, Iran's Fars News Agency reported on June 14 (local time).
A source close to the Iranian negotiating team emphasized to the media, "Nothing has been finalized. Even if there are repeated advances and setbacks in the negotiation process, Iran's core principle remains that all of our considerations must be fully reflected in the final agreement."
However, the agency clarified that the status of the cease-fire agreement described by the source reflects the situation before Israel's strike on Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, which drew a backlash from Iran.
Regarding U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion that a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on a cease-fire could be signed today, the source asserted, "Even if all of Iran's demands and viewpoints are reflected in the agreement, there will be no signing of the pact according to the timeline boasted by President Trump."
Leaders from the United States and the mediating country, Pakistan, expect a "framework agreement" to end the war between the two countries, which has lasted for over three months, to be officially signed today.
However, with hardline protesters in Iran strongly opposing the move and raising their voices in dissent, the Iranian government remains cautious and reserved regarding the timing of the signing.
Meanwhile, local media and foreign news outlets reported that a Qatari delegation, acting as mediators, arrived in Tehran, the capital of Iran, earlier today to discuss the details of the cease-fire agreement in an effort to reach a deal.
