Ebrahim Azizi, the head of Iran's parliamentary national security committee, expressed during a CNN interview that Iran is open to negotiating with the United States, provided that American officials, particularly President Donald Trump, demonstrate sincerity. Azizi stated that Iran views negotiations as an extension of the ongoing conflict and requires a realistic framework for any potential ceasefire. A significant barrier to negotiations is the US's freezing of Iranian assets, which Azizi claims was initially agreed to be released during talks. He reiterated Iran's unwavering stance on its nuclear program, particularly concerning enriched uranium. Azizi emphasized that trust is crucial for successful negotiations and that the current US behavior undermines this trust. He mentioned that if the US fulfills Iran's specified conditions, particularly in economic and financial matters, the Islamic Republic would be willing to engage further. However, he warned that continued distrust would hinder any progress towards a peace agreement, particularly regarding issues related to Lebanon, which remains a priority for Iran.
