— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱/🇺🇸 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’

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Amit Segal, prominent Israeli journalist for Channel 12:

‘As of now, Iran is only willing to commit to not developing nuclear weapons, while the U.S. is pushing for concrete steps to reduce enriched uranium—either by selling it, transferring it abroad, or diluting it.

A major sticking point is the Strait of Hormuz: Iran wants it under its management, while the U.S. insists on full freedom of navigation.

There’s also no agreement on financial relief. Qatar has stepped in with a proposal to provide Iran a $12B humanitarian loan.

Notably, Lebanon is now part of the broader framework under discussion.’

> $12 Billion ‘humanitarian loan’ instead of unfreezing assets

> ‘Environmental protection fee’ instead of tolls in the Strait of Hormuz

These sound like major coping mechanisms from the American side. Different words, same outcome.

If Israel hits the Beqaa Valley or Beirut, this not only harms prospects of ongoing MoU negotiations, but even the current ceasefire understanding between the U.S. and Iran.
