➡️ Senior Iranian parliamentary figures reinforced that no negotiations should begin until the US accepts and implements Iran’s conditions and prior commitments:
- Strategic Reorientation & Deterrence: Parliamentary leadership (Moqtadaei, Nejabat) stipulates an absolute freeze on subsequent diplomatic actions until initial terms are satisfied, arguing that past indicators of domestic flexibility consistently incentivized adversary aggression. They declare a definitive paradigm shift positioning the Strait of Hormuz—rather than the nuclear file—as the central geopolitical lever, rejecting a reversion to the status quo ante and warning of direct kinetic retaliation by the "Iranian Resistance" if US compliance is withheld.
- Diplomatic Mandate & Threat Assessment: Commission members (Rezaei, Saeedi) confirm that Iranian diplomats currently lack any mandate for bilateral or trilateral talks. They assess that merely floating diplomatic rumors (e.g., Araghchi-Witkoff tracks) depresses oil prices, inadvertently mitigating economic pressure on Washington while historically correlating with the immediate outbreak of hostilities. Furthermore, they subordinate any future diplomacy to mutual respect, citing the non-release of frozen assets under the Islamabad Understanding and JCPOA breaches as empirical proof of US bad faith.
➡️ Separately, Tasnim cited Iran’s FM Araghchi's remarks saying Tehran had discussed proposals with Qatari mediators for transmission to Washington and is awaiting its final response, while Iran’s conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz have been conveyed to Washington and the international community; he added that Iran has a diplomatic plan alongside military readiness and said this demonstrates that Tehran is not seeking war.
