Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei stated Wednesday that Iran has no plans for negotiations at this stage and is focused on defense, according to a report by Israel's Channel 12. He warned that any damage to Iranian territory will be met with an appropriate response, and that violations of the memorandum of understanding by the other side will lead Iran to suspend its own commitments.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said Wednesday that Iran's armed forces have demonstrated that any damage to Iranian territory will be met with an appropriate response. He stated that at this stage, Iran has no plans for negotiations and is focused on defense. Baqaei also referenced the memorandum of understanding with the US, warning that any violation by the other side would lead Iran to suspend its own commitments.
The statement is consistent with the position Baqaei has articulated in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on July 13, Baqaei stated that any region used for attacks on Iran would be targeted by defensive operations. On June 23, he reiterated that Iran's missile and defense capabilities are not negotiable. The remarks come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts through the Pakistan-Qatar track, though Iran continues to rule out talks on its military capabilities.
