Message from Iranian Foreign Minister: USA cannot achieve results with war and sanctions, the only solution is acceptance of our conditions

In his interview with Iran's official news agency IRNA, Erakchi made evaluations about the ongoing tension with the USA and the exchange of messages through intermediaries.

Stating that the USA could not achieve its goals in the war with Iran, Erakçi said, "(US President Donald) Trump should have understood that the USA could not achieve its goals in the war against Iran. Military operations and sanctions will not end the war. The only way forward is diplomacy, respectful dialogue and fulfilling the conditions stated in Iran's two-day offer, and this offer is still on the table." he said.

Iran had proposed a two-day road map to Washington, through intermediary countries, to safely restore maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and initiate nuclear negotiations with the United States. The Tehran administration ties the implementation of the plan to the conditions of the US lifting the naval blockade of Iranian ports, ending sanctions, releasing frozen assets and ending the war on all fronts.

The two countries signed an agreement through Pakistan in June, which included the same conditions and stipulated the cessation of the war, but the agreement quickly disappeared due to ongoing disagreements between the parties.
