Final deal between Iran and U.S. to include nuclear issue and lifting of sanctions - FM

BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 16. The final agreement
between Iran and the U.S. will include the resolution of
disagreements on the nuclear issue and the lifting of
sanctions.

This was announced by Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas
Araghchi in a meeting with ambassadors and diplomats of foreign
countries in Tehran today.

According to him, the discussions are planned to be in two
stages, taking into account the military escalation between the
U.S., Israel, and Iran.

Araghchi added that the first stage is to end the war, resolve
the restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz, the naval blockade, and
related issues.

He noted that after 3 months of negotiations between the U.S.,
Israel, and Iran, which began in the middle of the war, the parties
were able to reach an agreement on the first stage. At the end of
this stage, a memorandum of understanding will be signed. Later,
negotiations will be held within 60 days to reach a final
agreement.

The Iranian minister also said that the memorandum of
understanding for the first stage will officially enter into force
on June 19.

"In Iran's opinion, the two parties to this agreement are the
U.S. and Israel on one side, and Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah on the
other. The end of the war in Lebanon is an integral part of the
complete end of the war. In Iran's opinion, any attack on Lebanon
will be considered a violation of the memorandum of understanding,"
he noted.
