Al-Mayadeen, a media outlet close to the Islamic Republic of Lebanon, quoted an informed source: The Islamic Republic fears that the withdrawal of enriched materials from the country, instead of ending the war, will pave the way for a new military attack by Washington. Applying our seven conditions in one place and nine step by step is a red line before which we take no step. Tehran will not accept a mediation that is reduced to conveying America's demands and exerting pressure on the contractor. Machine translation:.
An informed Iranian source told al-Mayadeen on Thursday that J. Dee Vance, US Vice President, recently exchanged messages with Major General Mohsen Razai, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. This source saw this action as a sign of America's inability to achieve the goals of the war. This source said: "Exchanges of messages between US and Iranian officials are not an unusual subject and have known precedents. He added: "Senior American officials turning to the correspondence shows Washington's inability to achieve its goals in other ways." The source also flatly denied US President Donald Trump's claim that Vance's message was sent in response to Iran's request for equipment and drugs. In the same way, he rejected the reports of the American media that present these correspondences as a sign of the progress of the negotiations or the withdrawal of Iran. This informed Iranian source said that Tehran will publish the details of this announcement whenever it sees fit. He emphasized that his country will not take new steps before implementing the seven sections that it informed the Americans about and said: "The implementation of these seven sections should be done at once, not step by step. The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz or the start of new negotiations will not take place before Iran's conditions are implemented." He added: "The implementation of the seven points is a red line that cannot be withdrawn, and raising the nuclear file once again shows the US's attempt to take the lever of nuclear deterrence from Iran." The nuclear case and Iran's negotiations In an interview with Al-Mayadeen, this Iranian source said about the nuclear case: "Washington wants to use the nuclear case to present the war as an operation that led to an achievement."
