Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian said on the 26th (local time) that Iran is ready to conclude the work to end conflicts and tensions in the Middle East. However, he noted that the other party, the United States, must show the will.
According to Iranian outlets including Fars News Agency, Pezeshkian told Qatar's ruler Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, who mediated talks to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the United States to end the war.
The Iranian presidential office said in a statement, "President Pezeshkian expressed gratitude for the support and sustained, constructive efforts the Qatari government has shown in the peace-building process, and emphasized Iran's readiness to move toward a 'dignified framework' to end the war and the current regional tensions."
Pezeshkian then urged that "now it is time for the other side (the United States) to show its will."
He added, "Serious efforts are underway to finalize the relevant documents and provisions, including expert-level discussions, to establish a clear path toward stability."
Earlier, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran's parliament leading the Iranian delegation, visited Doha, Qatar, for talks with the United States to end the conflict.
The main agenda of the talks held in Qatar was reportedly the issue of unfreezing Iranian assets that the United States had frozen. In this regard, Tasnim News Agency reported, citing a person close to Iran's negotiating team, that Iran's 14-clause armistice proposal includes a demand to unfreeze $24 billion in Iran's overseas assets frozen by the United States.
