In his interview with Fox News, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has provided more details about an indirect meeting between his country and the US earlier this week, according to the ISNA news agency.

“What we are discussing is the framework of international law and the rights and entitlements that we should have,” Pezeshkian is quoted as saying. “We have not asked for anything other than our rights and entitlements within the framework of international law and we will not ask for anything. As a result, we are reaching an understanding on that basis, if the other side accepts.”
