Religious Leader of Iran Statement after the Signing of the MoU:
‘O passionate and loyal nation of Iran; As you have been informed, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Presidents of Iran and the United States.
In the path to reaching this stage, the responsible officials, out of concern and with good intentions, made many efforts, and indeed it was this American President who, out of desperation, used various levers to achieve this matter.
I, in principle, had a different opinion. But due to the commitment that the honorable President, as the head of the Supreme National Security Council, gave on behalf of himself and other members to uphold the rights of the Iranian nation and the Resistance Front, and because he explicitly accepted responsibility for it, I issued permission for it.
They also explicitly stated that if the American side tries to make excessive demands, they will not accept them.
From this moment on, we, meaning you, the proud nation, and this humble servant, will wait for the realization of the stated conditions.
However, it is obvious that the face-to-face negotiations that will be held in the future will not mean accepting the enemy's view. We hope that the good prayers of our Master, may God hasten his noble reappearance, will bring various victories and triumphs to the honorable nation of Iran.‘
President of Iran reply:
“The message of the Leader is the roadmap for safeguarding national interests in the course of negotiations; we consider ourselves committed to implementing his concerns and guidelines.
Obviously, I, as the President and Chairman of the SNSC, along with other members of this council, consider ourselves committed to giving maximum attention to His Eminence's concerns and safeguarding the rights of the Iranian nation and the resistance front.
Undoubtedly, the red line for officials is national interests and preserving the dignity, honor, and power of the brave Iranian nation, and with the negotiation team's utmost attention to the details of the talks and confident hope in the grace and favor of the Almighty, a great victory will be achieved. God willing.”
