Iranian President: "Supreme leader has authority over government to resolve crisis through dialogue" (comprehensive)

Iranian President Massoud Fezezhikian announced on the 2nd (local time) that he is seeking dialogue to overcome the crisis fomented in the country by enemies, and that Iran's supreme leader has granted authority to the government for this purpose.

At a meeting attended by major governors and mayors, President Pejesikian said, “We must overcome the challenges and crises created by our enemies through cooperation and cooperation with the people.”

He especially emphasized, "The government is trying to resolve this issue through dialogue, and the supreme leader of the revolution has granted some authority to the government in this regard."

This can be interpreted as the Iranian leadership expanding the executive branch's discretion to resolve tensions with the United States through dialogue.

In addition, President Fezesikian emphasized, “The enemies cannot force us to submit through war,” and “We are firmly standing against their lies and greed, and in this process, we must do our best to increase the resilience of the people and resolve their concerns.”

Currently, Iran is discussing the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the resumption of peace negotiations with the United States through mediation countries such as Qatar and Pakistan.

In particular, Iran presented demands including lifting the maritime blockade and proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz within two days if the United States accepts these conditions.

In relation to this, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi told IRNA news agency in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, "Discussions through the mediators, Qatar and Pakistan, are progressing very intensely."

He emphasized, “We have already presented the conditions and proposals, and now everything depends on the political reason of the United States.”

He went on to warn, “If the United States chooses genuine diplomacy, we are ready to cooperate, but if the United States intends to use deception or engage in military operations, it will face a much more bitter and heavy response than before.”

Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, the most important issue, Minister Araghchi said, "Iran's conditions for opening the strait are completely clear and transparent. If the conditions are accepted, the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened and negotiations will resume, but if not, the current situation will continue and Iran will never back down."
