BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 11. Iran's top priority
is to address issues such as ending war in all its forms, Esmail
Baghaei said at a press conference today, Trend reports.
According to him, Iran considers the Lebanese issue, the Persian
Gulf, and the Strait of Hormuz to be important.
Baghaei noted that at the same time, stopping the illegal U.S.
actions against merchant ships is on the agenda.
The ministry official added that keeping priority issues in the
spotlight currently is considered a responsible and logical
step.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation.
However, during subsequent talks between the U.S. and Iran in
Islamabad on April 11, no consensus was reached.
In addition, on April 21, U.S. President Donald Trump announced
an extension of the ceasefire until Iran submits its proposal and
the negotiations are concluded in one way or another.
