00:00USM boy Mr. Steve Whitcoff and Mr. Jaad Kushner are here in Doha to meet with the negotiators, with the
00:05mediators, sorry, meaning with the Qatari officials, and the talks will be around all regional issues which are of concern,
00:13including, of course, negotiations with Iran, but also including Lebanon and other files in the region.
00:18So they are not here for direct negotiations with the Iranians, or in different countries.
00:26As for the Iranian government, as I said, the Iranian government, and the American government, is still in a situation
00:33of a permanent agreement, of course.
00:36But there are not 700 meetings between the two parties during the next few days, as I said.
00:48A cautious message from Tehran, a conditional promise to Washington, and fresh uncertainty over the future of U.S.-Iran diplomacy.
01:00Iranian President Massoud Pazeshkian says Tehran will honor its commitments, but only if the United States does the same.
01:09Iranian President Massoud Pazeshkian has declared that Tehran remains committed to implementing its agreement with the United States, but only
01:19if Washington fully honors its own obligations.
01:23In a message posted on X, the Iranian President stressed that diplomacy cannot work unless both sides uphold their commitments.
01:34Pazeshkian wrote,
01:36Mutual understanding is a two-way street. If the American side adheres to the agreement, we will fulfill our commitments.
01:44His remarks come as both countries continue implementing a memorandum of understanding reached after weeks of heightened regional tensions.
01:54The agreement was designed to reduce hostilities and establish a framework for future cooperation on key security and regional issues.
02:04But despite the agreement, significant differences remain over what comes next.
02:10Iran's President also issued a warning against what he described as threats and pressure.
02:16He said Iran would continue relying on rational decision-making and human dignity while remaining prepared to defend itself if
02:26necessary.
02:26The comments underscore Tehran's attempt to balance diplomatic engagement with a firm national security posture.
02:35Meanwhile, conflicting statements have emerged over possible direct talks between Iranian and American officials.
02:43U.S. President Donald Trump recently told reporters that an important meeting involving Iran would take place in Doha, Qatar,
02:53suggesting discussions on what he called the denuclearization of Iran.
02:58Trump said the meeting could prove significant and expressed confidence about recent developments.
03:05However, Tehran has firmly rejected that characterization.
03:09Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, Ismail Bagai stated that the Iranian delegation traveling to Doha is focused solely on following up
03:20on the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding.
03:24According to Iranian officials, the visit is administrative and technical, not diplomatic negotiations with Washington.
03:33Iran's state news agency, IRNA, also reported that discussions in Qatar will center on implementing provisions already agreed upon under
03:43the Memorandum.
03:44The differing public messages from Washington and Tehran highlight the fragile state of relations between the two countries.
03:52While both governments continue speaking about implementation of the agreement, they remain divided over whether broader negotiations are actually underway.
04:04Analysts say successful implementation will require sustained confidence-building measures and careful management of expectations on both sides.
04:14For now, Iran's position appears clear.
04:18Honor the agreement, and Tehran says it will do the same.
04:22But if commitments are not respected, Iran signals that its response will be equally firm.
04:28As diplomacy continues, the next moves from both capitals could determine whether the current understanding evolves into lasting stability or
04:39renewed confrontation.
04:40The next moves from North Carolina.
04:41Analysts say it will do the same.
04:57Analysts say it will do the same.
