Milan, 11 July (LaPresse) – Tehran will not enter into negotiations with the United States unless Washington backs down from its current positions. This is according to the Iranian news agency Fars, linked to the Revolutionary Guards, citing a source close to the Iranian negotiating delegation. The source denied that Iran had requested talks with the US and clarified that the key to a change in position is the implementation of agreements already reached. In particular, Tehran would like to see: the establishment of a special working group on Lebanon aimed at ending the war and facilitating withdrawal; the regulation of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz in accordance with the conditions set by Iran; and the restoration of Iranian oil exports and the flow of oil under normal conditions. Fars reports that the source added that any speculation regarding the start of negotiations before these conditions are met is unfounded and inconsistent with the facts.
