00:00Any new agreement between Iran and the United States would need to deliver clear and immediate results
00:06before Tehran would trust in another ceasefire proposal.
00:10Dr. Saeed Imamian of Tehran Polytechnic University says Iran would likely seek tangible guarantees
00:17including sanctions relief, access to frozen funds and compensation for war damage.
00:25With regards to the Iran-US deal, as I said, Iran is not looking for any form of the political
00:32assurance.
00:33Iran is looking for some kind of the materially deliverable outcomes out of any form of the agreements
00:42rather than the political assurance that this is kind of the dreamful idea
00:51because it won't be possible for anyone now realistically to rely on any form of the political assurance
01:00from someone like President Trump as he has provided his reputation as untrustful and unreliable.
01:10So, the material outcome of any form of the deals are much more important and much more significant
01:24than any form of the political assurances that won't worth anything, to be honest, in the current situation that we
01:33are living in.
01:34At least until President Trump is in power in D.C., there won't be any form of the legal or
01:44political mechanism
01:45that would assure other counterparts that he would be committed to.
01:53The President Trump's style of the policy and agreements that no one could trust on him
02:00and his promises at least for mid- and long-term.
02:04So, Iran is looking for having its own damages from the three rounds of the unprovoked war of aggression
02:18to be compensated and to have a form of the guarantee that its own national security would be preserved
02:28and would be respected by the Americans with having such kind of the immediate implementable points of any likely agreement,
02:43if any.
02:43The latest ceasefire memorandum between Tehran and Washington was agreed in June,
02:48aiming to halt hostilities and create a 60-day window for negotiations.
02:53But the arrangement collapsed within weeks after both sides accused each other of violations and military strikes resumed in July.
