On April 15, a senior Iranian official stated that the country is ready to accept an "honorable framework" to end escalating regional tensions. The statement comes amid new developments in indirect talks between Tehran and Washington.
According to the source, Iran emphasized that any agreement must respect its sovereignty and national interests. Tehran asserted it will not accept imposed conditions, but seeks a fair and comprehensive dialogue mechanism.
Analysts believe this move reflects a shift in Iran's diplomatic strategy, as it aims to leverage negotiation to reduce tensions while avoiding further isolation on the international stage. There has been no official response from the U.S. or other involved parties yet.
Previously, Iran repeatedly rejected demands to control its nuclear and missile programs, viewing them as signs of interference. However, this time Tehran opens a diplomatic door on the condition of safeguarding national "honor."
