Not just paper": Iran says it needs concrete US action, not written commitments Ali Bakri-Khani, deputy secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said Tehran will not rely on pure written US commitments as it enters a new diplomatic phase, insisting it must first see Washington's practical actions. He said the US has repeatedly disrupted diplomacy over the past year and a half, started a war during talks, triggered the snapback process and violated a three-week understanding from day one. Bakri-Kani said that Iran's seven conditions must be implemented first, then other measures will follow, and that regional security arrangements must be endogenous, involving regional countries.
