ALWAGHT- Regarding Iran's negotiations with the US, Baghaei said discussions about specifics of a potential diplomatic process are ongoing, with hopes for a decision soon on the implementation method.
Esmaeil Baghaei, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, addressed international issues at a press conference on Monday. He congratulated the arrival of "Ten-Day Dawn" celebrations and spoke about regional tensions instigated by the US and Israel.
Iran's diplomatic efforts aim to secure the interests of its nation, maintain peace, and stabilize the region through contacts with officials from regional countries and various visits.
European Union ambassadors were summoned to the Foreign Ministry in response to their designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. Iran is reviewing counter-measures against this EU action.
Iran maintains a realistic approach to negotiations with the US, but no deadline has been set.
Regional countries are aware of potential consequences if the US were to escalate tensions in the region, with any conflict being detrimental to all parties involved. Iran emphasizes Iraq's sovereignty and opposes foreign intervention, denying the seizure of two Iranian tankers by Malaysia.
The IRGC will continue maintaining security and stability in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, despite the US's designation of the IRGC as a terrorist group.
France's claims of concern for human rights lack sincerity, according to Baghaei.
The lack of economic relations between the US and Iran stems from US sanctions, not Iran. Iran issued necessary warnings to Europe regarding the designation of the IRGC before it was made, with France having no legal or moral standing to intervene in Iran's internal affairs.
