Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh told Al Jazeera Arabic in an interview on Friday that Tehran wants to continue the diplomatic process with Washington, if the United States is serious about respecting their agreement and ensures Israel abides by the terms of the memorandum of understanding (MoU). “We are ready to move forward step by step, if the other party demonstrates the same seriousness,” he said.
Khatibzadeh denounced the latest Israeli attacks in Lebanon, saying Israel’s “continued war-making” would have “serious and immediate consequences.” He said Iran was seeking “peace on all fronts, including Gaza,” and explained that Lebanon had been included in the MoU because of its direct connection to the conflict.
