Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi handed over Iran’s conditions over to Pakistani mediators

“We have assured the Pakistani leadership that we will adhere to the 10 clauses.

We have also assured the Pakistani leadership of our commitment to ending the threats and the blockade. We will not sit in negotiations where America sets red lines.”

An Iranian official says that while they’re committed to negotiations they will not participate in negotiations where the U.S. sets red lines however the sea blockade is hurting the Iranian regime as it scrambles to source alternative revenue for its devastated economy, negotiations may soon be its only path other than more conflict.
