Conditions for progress
Officials said the success of any deal rests on three core pillars: full adherence to commitments, mutual respect among the parties, and an immediate halt to the language of threats.
“These principles are essential for any meaningful outcome,” the officials said, underscoring Tehran’s insistence that negotiations move beyond rhetoric toward implementation.
