Iran Stands Firm on US Talks, Warns Reopening Strait of Hormuz Would be “Major Strategic Mistake”

Tehran, IRAN – In a strongly-worded statement released by the Assembly of Experts, the top decision-making body of the Islamic Republic of Iran, officials have reaffirmed their commitment to the ongoing negotiations with the United States. However, they have also issued a warning that any breaches of the agreement would be met with immediate action.

According to the statement, the Assembly emphasized the importance of adhering to the commitments made to the Iranian Leader and the people. Any violations or breaches would be deemed unacceptable and necessitate a swift response.

The statement also highlighted the ongoing aggression and crimes committed by the Zionist regime in Lebanon and its refusal to withdraw from occupied areas. This, according to the Assembly, constitutes a clear breach of the first clause of the agreement.

In light of this situation, the Assembly has warned against reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which they deem a major strategic mistake. They believe that such a move would embolden the enemy and give them license to break their promises.

The statement, which was issued on Tuesday, reflected the Assembly’s concerns that the agreement with the United States is still fragile and subject to multiple threats from various actors. The Assembly called on all relevant parties to remain vigilant and uphold their commitments to ensure the success of the negotiations.

The statement’s emphasis on the importance of maintaining the agreement’s integrity comes at a critical time for the Iranian-US talks. Diplomatic efforts have been ongoing for several months, with officials from both sides working to hammer out a comprehensive deal that addresses key issues such as nuclear development, regional security, and sanctions.

Despite the progress made, concerns remain about the long-term viability of the agreement. International observers have questioned the ability of the United States and Iran to overcome their deep-seated differences and arrive at a mutually beneficial accord.

As the talks continue, the Assembly’s statement serves as a clear reminder of the Iranian government’s resolve to protect its national interests and uphold its domestic and regional priorities.
