He made this statement after US President Donald Trump wrote earlier on Friday on his platform “Truth Social” that he was preparing to make a final decision regarding a possible agreement.
A spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also stated that there are “no negotiations” regarding the country’s nuclear program.
“At this stage, we are focusing on ending the war and there are no negotiations on the nuclear issue,” E. Baqaei told state television.
D. Trump also wrote on his social network that “Iran must agree never to have Nuclear Weapons or a Bomb. The Strait of Hormuz must be opened immediately, without fees, so that shipping traffic in both directions is unrestricted.”
He also noted that Iran’s enriched uranium stocks “will be mined by the United States (…) in close cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency and will be DESTROYED.”

Meanwhile, sources cited by the Iranian news agency “Fars” on Friday said that the latest US president’s comments about a possible agreement aimed at ending the war in the Middle East are “a mixture of truth and lies.”
“Trump claimed that Iran must open the Strait of Hormuz without tolls, although such conditions are not in the text of the agreement,” Fars stated in its report.
Regarding the US president’s claim that Washington and Tehran will coordinate actions on the destruction of Iran’s enriched uranium, Fars said: “Well-informed sources emphasized that not only is this not in the memorandum of agreement, but this statement is fundamentally unfounded.”
The sources added that the destruction of Iran’s nuclear materials is also not included in the text of the agreement.
The sources said that Iran demands “the immediate unblocking of $12 billion (10.3 billion euros) worth of frozen Iranian assets,” and warned that “until this payment is made, Iran will not move to the next stage of negotiations.”
