⭕🧵 Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi is giving an interview on Iranian television about the emerging deal with the US, here is what he said:
📌 The best time to end a war is when we have the upper hand. We are indeed winning on the battlefield. We have stood for 40 days against what is considered the world's superpower. An agreement and an end to the war will anchor this victory.
📌 The final agreement has not yet been reached. If it is completed, I promise to explain every clause in it. The agreement includes two phases, and we have moved the nuclear issue to the second phase.
📌 Lebanon - We will never leave Hezbollah alone in Lebanon, and the end of the war will also include Lebanon and all other fronts. Ending the war within the framework of the agreement also means Israel's withdrawal from the occupied territories in southern Lebanon, and we have made this clear to the other side.
📌 Within the framework of this agreement, the United States A written declaration that it respects Iran's sovereignty.
📌 The American demands regarding the nuclear issue at this stage were completely unacceptable to us.
📌 The difference this time compared to previous agreements is that we have not yet reached a final agreement; this is only the first step, or the first stage. If the understandings reached in the first stage are not implemented, we will not proceed to the second stage. We must expect various difficulties and complications in the implementation of the agreement from the other side.
📌 The Strait of Hormuz is undoubtedly under the sovereignty of Iran and Oman. There is no international waterway in the Strait of Hormuz. The management of the Strait of Hormuz in the future will not be the same as it was in the past. No one will be able to challenge the sovereignty of Iran and Oman over the Strait. The management of the Strait of Hormuz will not return to the format that existed before the war.
Fees will be charged for services in the Strait of Hormuz, and these services will no longer be provided for free. Payment of fees will be mandatory.
📌 According to The memorandum of understanding, if signed, will release Iran's frozen assets. We will no longer allow any of our assets to be refrozen. A rehabilitation plan has been formulated to compensate Iran for the damages it suffered.
📌 The initial signing will be done remotely, digitally. This could happen in the coming days.
📌 Our consistent position is that the only way to resolve the issue of enriched uranium to a level of 60% is to dilute it within Iran.
