Amidst the war between America, Israel and Iran, a big statement of Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has come to light. He talked about receiving direct messages from America. However, he also clarified that this does not mean that Tehran is ‘negotiating’ with Washington.
What did Araghchi say?
During a conversation with Al Jazeera, Iran’s Foreign Minister said that I am getting messages from Steve Witkoff like before, but it does not mean that we are talking. Araghchi claimed that Iran has neither responded to America’s 15-point proposals nor put forward any conditions. He said Iran is ready to end the war in the entire region, but not for a temporary ceasefire. He also said that Iran has some objections to talks with America.
Araghchi also reiterated that there is no truth in the US’s claims of talks with any side in Iran. He said, all messages are sent or received through the Ministry of External Affairs and communication between security agencies. Araghchi said that his experience of talks with America was never good. He said, many years ago they had made an agreement with America but the US backed out from it.
Iranian President gave signals to end the war
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also said on Tuesday (31 March) that America does not believe in diplomacy. He said that even during talks with the US, Iran was attacked twice. In a conversation with the President of the European Union, Pezeshkian made it clear that Iran does not want to prolong this conflict. He said, we are ready to end the war, but Iran’s security should be ensured and guarantees should be given to prevent future attacks on it. He made it clear that no agreement will be accepted without guaranteeing the interests and security of the people of Iran.
Trump’s statement on war
US President Donald Trump’s statement regarding ending the Iran war also came out. He said, ‘The Iran war will end in two to three weeks. He also reiterated that there is no need for any agreement to end the war. Our only target was that they should not have nuclear weapons and that target has been achieved. They don’t have nuclear weapons, but we are getting the job done. I think maybe within two weeks, or maybe in a few more days, the work will be completed.
