Iran has also said it will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz or return to earlier US-Iran negotiations until the United States meets its conditions. US-Iran Tensions: Tehran has warned Washington against a new military operation, saying any US attack on Iran would invite strikes on American bases and interests across West Asia.
However, the comments do not amount to an announced change in Iran’s nuclear policy.
Rezaei has said Tehran has not changed its declared position against nuclear weapons, while some Iranian lawmakers have called for reconsidering the country’s membership of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The diplomatic channel has also been accompanied by debate in Iran over its nuclear policy.
And until these conditions are met, the inalienable rights of the Iranian nation are recognised and the Americans fulfil their commitments, there will be no possibility of a return to the previous negotiation framework or to reopen the Strait of Hormuz,” said Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Iran has sent Washington seven conditions through Qatar, according to Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei. He said the demands include an end to the war on all fronts, the release of frozen Iranian funds and an end to the US naval blockade.
“Our messages and conditions have been conveyed explicitly to the other side through intermediaries… Qatar has been involved in passing messages between Tehran and Washington.
Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters warned the United States on Sunday (September 20).
He has said he is in “decision-making mode” over Iran and hinted that he could meet Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the UNGA. Carried by the Iranian Republic News Agency (IRNA), the statement said Washington was preparing to resume military action with support from some countries in the region. “Should the United States make any mistake against the Islamic Republic of Iran, all its bases and interests in the region will be targeted in continuous, effective and painful attacks without any limitation or consideration,” it said. It said countries that assist Washington would be treated as participants in the waar and could no longer expect restraint from Iranian forces.
The statements came as US President Donald Trump weighs his next move on Iran and prepares for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. The Iranian command also warned regional countries against supporting a US military operation.
