A source close to the Iranian negotiating team detailed the latest developments in indirect talks with the US, speaking hours before the Israeli strike in Beirut's Dahiyeh district. The source told Iran's Fars news agency that Qatar's team is currently in Tehran relaying Iran's full demands, and stressed that no final agreement has been reached and that Iran insists all its conditions be met. The source added that even if all Iranian positions are accepted, no deal would be signed by Trump's declared deadline, according to the report.
A source close to the Iranian negotiating team told Iran's semi-official Fars news agency that Qatar's mediators are currently in Tehran, relaying Iran's full set of demands to the U.S. side. The source stressed that no final agreement has been reached, and that Iran insists all its conditions be met — adding that even if all Iranian positions are accepted, no deal would be signed by President Trump's declared deadline. The comments were made hours before the Israeli strike in Beirut's Dahiyeh district.
This bulletin is the latest in a thread The Zioneer has tracked since 04:43 Jerusalem, when our first versions reported Iran's rejection of a Sunday signing — initially citing Trump's birthday publicity motives (04:43), then dismissing the signing demand as a media and image-oriented step (04:43), and finally quoting Iran's Foreign Ministry that it would not sign a deal that day, amid contradictory signals from Tehran (04:43). The new Fars report now provides a detailed negotiating rationale from a source close to the team, corroborating the consistent Iranian rejection with specific timing and mediation details.
As The Zioneer reported on June 12, Iran's negotiation team source had already dismissed reports of a Sunday Geneva deal as 'completely false' (16:07 Jerusalem), and a Foreign Ministry spokesman later said Iran entered talks in good faith but awaited a final decision (20:54 Jerusalem). The thread also includes background coverage of Iranian hardening on frozen funds (The Zioneer, June 8) and conflicting state-media signals on deal likelihood (The Zioneer, June 11). Separately, a bulletin at 17:06 Jerusalem reported that Israel raised alert levels after the Dahiyeh strike and is preparing for possible Iranian retaliation.
It remains unclear how the Beirut strike may affect the indirect talks. The Iranian source's comments were explicitly made before the Israeli operation, and no official Iranian statement on the strike's impact on negotiations has been published.
