On June 13, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae said that any potential understanding between Iran and the United States is merely to promote continued dialogue, not a final agreement; unfreezing Iranian assets will be an indispensable part of any Iran-US understanding. According to the Iranian Students News Agency, Baghae said during a meeting with media representatives that Irans current focus is on ending fighting on all fronts and regional tensions, and that it will not delve into the details of the nuclear issue at this stage. He said the only way to achieve regional security is to end the presence of foreign military forces in the region. Baghae emphasized that the unfreezing of Iranian assets is an important component of the understanding and will not be excluded. Current discussions also include addressing US hostile actions against Iranian vessels and issues related to the Strait of Hormuz. Baghae said that Iran will proceed with the utmost caution in advancing negotiations and the diplomatic process, while remaining vigilant based on past experience.
