—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: ‘The MoU between Iran and America may be cancelled’ – Tasnim

@Middle_East_Spectator

Two main points of dispute in the ongoing MoU discussions:

1. The release of Iran’s frozen assets. Iran wants most of it up front.

2. More importantly: Iran’s objection to Israeli ‘freedom of action’ in Lebanon in case of a ceasefire. Iran insists on an absolute ceasefire in Lebanon.

Americans now claiming that Iran has already agreed to hand over its uranium, and that zero financial benefits will happen until they do so.

Funnily enough, the last six or seven times they claimed this, it always turned out to be false and Iran completely rejected it.

Iran-U.S. negotiations are the most excruciating, annoying, schizophrenia inducing thing to cover. The back and forth is more than during ping pong.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency:

– At least half of Iran’s frozen assets must be released up front as part of the MoU, and they should be immediately accessible to Iran.

– Iran has made zero commitments on nuclear issues.

– A ceasefire in Lebanon must be a complete stop to the war, with no breaches.

Almost forgot this happened ngl.

We’ve gone through so much insane stuff the past three years.

From the Wagner Rebellion, to October 7th, the war in Gaza, President Raisi’s helicopter accident, Trump’s reelection, the fall of the Assad Dynasty, Operations True Promise-1, 2, 3 & 4…

He also says that for the ‘help’ the U.S. provided in bringing peace to the Middle East, it should be mandatory for Saudi Arabia and Qatar to immediately join the Abraham Accords (i.e. peace with Israel), and that other nations should follow suit, including Iran.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱/🇺🇸 Iran’s Foreign Ministry:

‘The Islamic Republic of Iran does not recognize ‘Israel’, and never will, as it is an illegal and occupying entity.

Therefore, it is impossible to engage in diplomatic relations with a usurping and genocidal regime which is the greatest source of instabillity and crimes against humanity in the region.

It would be better for Iran, which is a civilization that has existed for thousands of years, to be martyred in its entirety — rather than to engage in diplomatic relations or any other relations with the killer of Muslims’
