Speaking further, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson noted that there are “no guarantees” that the US will honour its commitments to a potential deal and said that Tehran does not care about “threats”, Al Jazeera notes.

“The changes in recent weeks have been caused by mediation from Pakistan and other countries,” he was quoted as saying, adding that the talks included a clause to end the ongoing conflict in Lebanon.

Baqaei further said it was “ridiculous” for the “aggressors” to speak about the welfare of Iranians, and that vital infrastructure, including steel and pharmaceutical plants, has been targeted by US-Israeli strikes.
