The key facts
- Mohsen Rezaei demanded that the US stop reports of “imaginary talks” and accept seven Iranian conditions
- Trump earlier spoke of positive dynamics and high chances of an agreement after a meeting with Qatar's leadership
- The sides give opposite assessments of the state of contacts
Tehran's demand
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei said that Washington must stop spreading false information about allegedly ongoing talks with Tehran and accept the seven conditions previously put forward by the Iranian side. He stated his position on his Telegram channel, reports Life.ru.
Content of the statement
“Show your cards. Stop fabricating fake news about imaginary talks. Stop denying the new order in West Asia. It is time to submit to the seven conditions that Iran has repeatedly put forward,” Rezaei wrote. He also claimed that the war against his country had already led to the destruction of the American government. In his assessment, Washington has found itself in a difficult position and is acting inconsistently; the Iranian politician compared the behavior of the US authorities to that of a desperate player who does not know what to do next.
Washington's position
Rezaei's statement came against the backdrop of different assessments from the United States. Earlier, US President Donald Trump expressed hope for a swift end to the conflict with Iran, spoke of positive changes in relations between Washington and Tehran and said that the two sides continue to maintain contacts. He rated the chances of reaching an agreement between the two countries as high, making these statements after a meeting with the leadership of Qatar.
What is known and what remains unclear
Thus, the two sides publicly describe the situation in opposite ways: Tehran denies the very fact of talks and demands that its conditions be met, while the American president speaks of ongoing contacts and a high likelihood of an agreement. The content of the seven conditions referred to by Rezaei is not disclosed in the publication; there is no confirmation of either side's claims in the available materials.
