Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, says the country remains under a temporary ceasefire, but uncertainty continues over how long the fragile truce will hold.
He emphasized that ongoing discussions are not aimed at simply extending the ceasefire, but at ending the conflict in a way that safeguards Iran’s national interests.
According to Baghaei, key issues include the lifting of sanctions, addressing ongoing hostilities, and ensuring long-term security in the Strait of Hormuz.
He also stressed the need to prevent further military escalation, warning that any renewed aggression could undermine diplomatic progress.
Baghaei accused the United States of hostile actions, including incidents involving shipping, while also criticizing what he described as a “media war” shaping international narratives.
Despite the tensions, he indicated that negotiations remain under active consideration, though no final decision has been made on whether talks will continue.
The remarks highlight the complex and delicate nature of the situation, with both diplomatic and military factors influencing the path forward.
As uncertainty persists, the focus remains on whether negotiations can evolve into a broader agreement or if the ceasefire will face renewed strain.
