On May 23, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei stated in an interview with the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting that the current focus of negotiations is to promote an end to the 'imposed war,' with no in-depth discussions on nuclear issues at this stage. Iran and the U.S. are working to finalize a memorandum of understanding. Baghaei mentioned that the current negotiations do not involve specific details regarding nuclear issues and the corresponding lifting of sanctions, but Iran's demands for the lifting of sanctions, particularly the release of frozen assets, are clearly outlined in the 14 articles of the memorandum. He explained that Iran is not delving deeply into nuclear discussions at this stage because it believes that the nuclear issue has previously been used as a pretext for waging war against Iran. Currently, Iran is focusing on promoting the end of 'wars on all fronts,' including in Lebanon, and may enter into negotiations on nuclear issues in the next phase, possibly in 30 or 60 days.
