Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has claimed that an upcoming agreement with the United States could pave the way for the end of conflicts across multiple fronts, including Lebanon, marking a potentially significant shift in regional tensions.
Speaking about a proposed interim arrangement between Tehran and Washington, Araghchi said the framework includes key issues such as easing US sanctions, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and ending ongoing conflicts in the region. He added that a formal announcement regarding the end of hostilities on various fronts, including Lebanon, is expected if the deal moves forward.
According to Araghchi, negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program would take place at a later stage, while the current focus remains on confidence-building measures between the two countries. He described the proposed memorandum of understanding (MoU) as a first step toward restoring trust, noting that the document has yet to be signed and could still undergo changes.
The Iranian foreign minister also asserted that Iran had emerged victorious in its confrontation with the United States and stressed that reaching an agreement is the only viable path forward. He warned that failure to secure the interim deal could hinder progress on future nuclear negotiations.
Meanwhile, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf cautioned Washington against backtracking on its commitments, emphasizing that the success of any agreement depends on both sides honoring their promises without excuses or delays.
Separately, Mohsen Rezaei, a member of Iran’s Expediency Council, claimed that US President Donald Trump is willing to release $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets. However, no official public confirmation of such a move has been announced by the United States.
The developments come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions and exploring a broader framework for regional stability.
