Speaker of the Iranian Parliament: We are not denying negotiations, but negotiations are only a tool of struggle. If one day we stop fighting the US and the Zionist regime in all its forms, that day will be our day of failure. During negotiations on Article 1 of the Memorandum of Understanding, we emphasized the need to end the war waged by each other against Iran and Iran's allies within the Resistance Front; the other side initially requested in its 15 articles that we completely cease missile, nuclear, and resistance-related activities. Today, even pro-American countries in the region acknowledge that the US is creating regional turmoil. The US side must fulfill its promises before we can open the Strait of Hormuz.
