Iran Still Studying Draft Deal, No Reply Sent Yet

A source told Iran's Mehr news agency that the final text of the draft agreement remains under discussion in Tehran. The source emphasized that a history of U.S. broken promises and deep-seated mistrust has led Iran to approach the matter with extreme rigour. "Iran, based on previous experience, is seeking real and tangible benefits," the source said. "America is worried about the war; we are worried about the agreement, because America has spent heavily on the war and has achieved nothing." The source stressed that Iran's approach is grounded in the principles of reversibility and concrete, verifiable implementation steps. "Iran has faced the other side's bad faith before. So our basis is reversibility and tangible executive measures." The remarks come amid ongoing negotiations over Iran's nuclear program and the possibility of reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The United States has expressed urgency in reaching a deal, while Iran insists on guarantees that sanctions relief will be lasting and verifiable. According to Mehr News Agency, the source added that Iran will not rush into any agreement without securing its national interests.
