A source in Tehran stated Wednesday evening that Iran's position on negotiations remains rigid: it rejects any ceasefire proposal that includes timeframes, and insists that any talks must be based on a return to the full implementation of the clauses of the memorandum of understanding.
The statement comes hours after Al-Jazeera reported that Iran has rejected the concept of a temporary ceasefire with the United States, as The Zioneer reported at 18:11. The new remarks add a specific condition—the memorandum of understanding—as the basis for any future negotiations, a position not previously detailed in public.
This latest hardening follows a series of Iranian statements over the past weeks. On July 15, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman warned that Tehran would suspend commitments if the other side violated the memorandum. On June 23, the same spokesman declared that Iran's missile and defense capabilities would not be part of any talks. The cumulative effect is a clear Iranian demand that any negotiation framework must start from the existing memorandum, not from new American proposals.
The source was cited by the Arabic Desk, the source with links to regional affairs. The claim has not been independently corroborated by other outlets.
