If the United States makes excessive demands on Iran at the new stage of negotiations, Tehran will not accept them, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei said.
⠀
“They (the Iranian president and other officials) also explained that if the United States comes to make excessive demands, Iran will not comply with them. From now on, we will wait for the implementation of the agreed conditions,” Khamenei said in a message on the memorandum with the United States and published by his press service.
⠀
He also added that the upcoming negotiations do not mean that Iran will necessarily accept the US position.
On the night of June 18, Iran and the United States remotely signed a memorandum that presupposes the end of the military conflict that began on February 28.
⠀
The memorandum also sets a timeline for when the United States will lift the naval blockade and Iran will restore navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
⠀
In addition, Iran undertakes not to obtain nuclear weapons, and the issue of the Iranian nuclear program should be settled by a separate agreement.
⠀
The parties will hold negotiations on this issue within 60 days. For Tehran, the outcome of fulfilling the terms of the memorandum should be the lifting of anti-Iranian sanctions.
