The Iranian authorities say there is a “violation of the basis of negotiations.” They point to three points
Ghalibaf pointed to the following violations by the US:
- No ceasefire in Lebanon (failure to comply with the first point of the agreement).
- Violation of Iranian airspace by a drone that was shot down in Fars province.
- Refusal to recognize Iran's right to enrich uranium.
The speaker of the Iranian parliament emphasizes that these actions are once again necessary confirm and justify Iran's historical distrust of the United States in honoring its commitments.
Currently, the “real basis for negotiations” has been openly and clearly violated, even before the negotiations begin. In such a situation, a bilateral ceasefire or negotiation is unjustified
– wrote Ghalibaf.
US reaction to Iran's 'wish list'
The spokeswoman criticized the media for presenting Iran's 10-point “wish list” – published by Iran's Supreme National Security Council – as something the US had adopted as the basis for further negotiations.
She noted that Iran's original 10-point proposal was “ridiculous” and the president threw it in the trash. Later, Iran was to send an improved and “more reasonable” proposal, also consisting of 10 points, which Trump considered as a starting point for further talks. She did not reveal any details.
She emphasized that the US “red lines” remain unchanged, which include ensuring that Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon and stops enriching uranium. According to Leavitt, Iran also made it clear that it would hand over its stocks of enriched uranium.
