Baghaei

Iranian officials say the return of IAEA inspectors to Iran remains undecided. Kazem Gharibabadi-aligned negotiator Majid Baghaei indicated Tehran has not agreed on terms for resumed inspections, leaving the status of international monitoring of Iran's nuclear programme unresolved. The announcement comes amid ongoing tensions over Iran's nuclear activities and stalled diplomacy with Western powers.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said US proposals on the nuclear issue are in line with Washington's previous positions, suggesting no meaningful shift in the American stance. The comment comes amid ongoing diplomacy over Iran's nuclear programme, with Tehran and Washington exchanging proposals through intermediaries. Officials in Tehran have repeatedly signalled they will reject terms they see as one-sided, while urging continued talks.

Baghaei, spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry, has called on France to respect human rights in its handling of protesters, according to the WANA News Agency. The statement comes amid ongoing protests in France and reflects Tehran's criticism of Western governments' treatment of demonstrators, a recurring theme in Iranian official rhetoric toward Europe.

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Baghaei Khatibzadeh said Iran is seeking concrete, verifiable guarantees from the United States as a condition for ending the ongoing war. The statement signals that Tehran wants firm US commitments rather than verbal assurances before agreeing to any ceasefire. The demand underscores the difficulty of negotiations between the two countries, which have no direct diplomatic relations, and highlights guarantees as the central sticking point in efforts to de-escalate the conflict.
