Ebrahim Rezaei, a member of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, rejected the Axios news portal's report that Iran and the US are close to an agreement ending armed conflict. Rezaei stated that this news is more of an 'American wish list' than reality.
Axios had reported that Washington and Tehran were close to signing a one-page memorandum of understanding and that the US side expected a response from Iran within 48 hours. However, the Iranian side announced that it would respond harshly if the US and its allies did not make concessions.
Iran's official news agency ISNA also stated that some claims in the Axios report are speculative and aimed at increasing tensions. These statements indicate that the current tension between the two countries continues.
No official agreement or memorandum has been announced yet, and there is no clarity on how the process will proceed. Official statements and developments from the parties will be followed.
These developments have led to questioning the accuracy of news about a possible easing in Iran-US relations. The progress of the process and official statements are expected to become clear in the coming days.
