Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in an interview with Fox News that he seeks to conclude a deal with the United States within the framework of international law, without claiming anything more.
Answering a question about the course of negotiations with the American side, he said: "What is being discussed and agreed upon is within the framework of international law and what would rightfully belong to us under international law. We have never sought anything more. As a result, on this basis we are striving for an agreement, if the opposite side agrees to it."
Pezeshkian noted that Iran is ready to give up its stockpiles of uranium enriched to 60% within the provisions of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).
In mid-June, the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran signed a memorandum that was supposed to launch a peace process. However, three weeks later a new round of escalation began: the US accused Iran of shelling commercial vessels in Hormuz, after which the sides resumed exchanging strikes. On August 20, Donald Trump announced the start of an economic operation against Tehran, which, he claimed, means isolation on an unprecedented scale.
Last week, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei said that Iran had conveyed a peace proposal to the United States through Qatar, but according to Reuters, many disagreements remain between the sides.
