Iranian ships have entered ports without issue, and cargos have also been unloaded from ports without hindrance, spokesperson of the country’s foreign ministry Esmaeil Baqaei, said on Thursday as per the ISNA news agency.
Baqaei said that when the presidents of both US and Iran- Donald Trump and Masoud Pezeshkian- had signed an agreement, the cost of breaking it will be higher.
“We concluded that the better option is for the presidents of the two countries to sign the text virtually, without the need to be present in a specific location. There are multiple reasons for this decision, one of the most important of which is that when the text reaches the signature of the highest officials of the two countries, the cost of violating it will also be higher. I think there’s no room for holding another ceremony,” the Iranian spokesperson said.
Baqaei said further that during the 60-day period, both parties will discuss the nuclear issue and the lifting of sanctions.
However, he said that the transfer of enriched materials outside of Iran was unacceptable to them. He also claimed that Iran’s superpower status was not a slogan, because they ‘defeated’ two nuclear powers.
He was quoted as saying by the ISNA News Agency, “The Islamic Republic of Iran is the skin of Iran; and the enemies wanted to peel off the skin of Iran. Every patriotic person understood that this separation (between Iran and the Islamic Republic) is an illusory separation.”
Baqaei said that the peace MoU was signed in both English and Persian, to leave no room for ambiguity.
“The memorandum of understanding is signed in two languages. We insisted that the text must be available in both Persian and English. If the text were only in English, we might have encountered subjective translations. The Persian text is fully aligned with the English text and is fully valid from our perspective,” he said.
