Iran demands US guarantee on its national interests, lawmaker says

Iran is demanding guarantees from the United States that all of its interests will be ensured, Ebrahim Azizi, a senior Iranian lawmaker, has stated.

Head of Iran’s Parliament National Security Committee said the continuation of talks between Tehran and Washington will depend on whether US confidence-building measures produce concrete outcomes, Caliber.Az reports, citing foreign media.

On May 26, he noted that “No action will be taken unless the Islamic Republic’s interests are fully secured.”

He added that parliament is closely monitoring the negotiations and urged the public not to be alarmed by the ongoing diplomatic process.
