Iran has said it will only accept a “fair and comprehensive agreement” in negotiations with the United States to end the ongoing Middle East conflict, signalling cautious openness to diplomacy. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stressed that any deal must protect the country’s rights and interests. This comes as reports indicate both sides are nearing a preliminary 14-point framework to halt hostilities and begin broader negotiations on contentious issues like Iran’s nuclear programme and sanctions. However, key disagreements remain, and Iran has expressed skepticism about US proposals, insisting on a balanced outcome. Despite tensions, diplomatic progress has raised hopes of a ceasefire and eased global market concerns. (PC: WION)
