Iran's Historical Claims: Lawmakers Champion Geopolitical Rights Over the Persian Gulf

Iran Insists on Fair Deal in U.S. Nuclear Negotiations, Lawmakers Warn

In recent discussions surrounding Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, Iranian lawmakers have firmly stated their commitment to securing a fair deal that includes the removal of unjust U.S. sanctions. This unwavering stance highlights the importance of negotiations in addressing the long-standing tensions between Iran and the United States.

On Wednesday, members of the Iranian Parliament issued a statement reaffirming the country’s principled approach to engaging in indirect negotiations with the U.S. They perceive this as an opportunity for Washington to clarify its intentions to the international community.

The statement emphasized the following key points:

  • Fair Resolution: The Islamic Republic seeks a resolution that upholds Iran’s rights and interests as delineated in Article IV of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and Articles III and XI of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Statute.
  • Sanction Removal: A complete lifting of the U.S.’s illegal and oppressive unilateral sanctions is a prerequisite for Iran’s agreement.
  • Strategic Action Plan: The Strategic Action Plan to Counter Sanctions, enacted by Parliament in December 2020, will serve as a guiding framework for negotiators.

The statement also reiterated that Iran’s defensive capabilities will consistently evolve, ensuring that national security remains a top priority. Lawmakers condemned the recent U.S. sanctions, particularly those targeting the energy sector, as inconsistent with Washington’s stated goodwill during the negotiation process.

Furthermore, the lawmakers expressed gratitude for the leadership of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, emphasizing that his guidance has once again illuminated a clear path for Iran to assert its position on the global stage.

Recently, Iranian negotiators led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi engaged in the fourth round of discussions with a U.S. delegation in Muscat. The American team was headed by the President’s Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff. These talks, mediated by Oman, have been characterized by both parties as productive and advancing positively.

The discussions primarily focus on the following:

  1. Iran’s nuclear program
  2. The lifting of sanctions
  3. A potential agreement to replace the 2015 landmark deal, from which the U.S. unilaterally withdrew during Trump’s first term in office.

As negotiations continue, the outcome will significantly impact Iran’s future and its relations with the international community.
