In an interview with Al-Jazeera, Muhammad Bakr Khalibaf said that the Islamic Republic does not differentiate between America and Israel in negotiations or war, and if one of them starts a war, it will respond to both. He added that the continuation of the war will harm the security and economy of the countries of the region.
Khalibaf said that the Islamic Republic submitted its demands for the agreement to the United States, but Washington has not yet given an official and specific answer. He added that in order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume negotiations, America must implement the seven conditions of the Islamic Republic and that the Strait of Hormuz will not return to its pre-war status. He also said that there has been no change in the negotiating team and he is still in charge of the negotiations.
Kalifa announced the reaching of understandings with Oman regarding the shipping lane and the separation system between the movement of ships in the Strait of Hormuz. He also said that no country should interfere in Yemen's internal affairs, and if requested by Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, the Islamic Republic is ready to help resolve their disputes.
