The Iranian Foreign Minister affirmed that iran will not concede to a ceasefire, but solely desires a lasting cessation of conflict throughout the Middle East. Speaking to Al Jazeera, Abbas Araghchi emphasized this position, maintaining a consistent channel of communication with the U.S. Special Envoy to Iran, Steve Witkoff.
He clarified, however, that these exchanges did not constitute a formal negotiation process. Witkoff is recognized as a key figure within the Washington team involved in the indirect talks with iran, as reported by skynews. These discussions centered on the ongoing situation within iran.
Araghchi, holding a prominent position among the remaining senior officials in iran, revealed that the country had yet to formally respond to the fifteen-point peace proposal delivered by the United States a week earlier. Furthermore, Araghchi indicated that continued dialogue persisted with Washington. The Iranian government’s stance remains firm: they will not accept a temporary resolution, but insist on a permanent end to hostilities.
This unwavering approach reflects iran’s determination to resolve the situation comprehensively.
