TEHRAN: Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei has said that a proposed agreement with the United States will include the return of frozen Iranian assets as well as compensation for damages from military actions involving the United States and Israel.
In a press briefing, Baghaei said a memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States is expected to be signed on Friday in Geneva. He added that Iranian delegations will visit several regional and neighbouring countries ahead of the signing.
He said Iran’s public and armed forces showed “unprecedented resilience” during a 110-day conflict, and vowed that the country would not forget the sacrifices of its leaders, military commanders and civilians.
Baghaei also accused Israel of continuing attacks in Lebanon and Palestine, saying international institutions had failed to stop what he described as Israeli aggression or condemn actions against Iran.
He stressed that Iran prefers dialogue and diplomacy but said reaching an agreement does not mean abandoning claims related to wartime losses or alleged violations.
According to him, the deal framework includes provisions related to Lebanon, with emphasis on respecting its sovereignty and security, while implementation will be closely monitored amid continued tensions.
Baghaei further said steps are being discussed with Oman to ensure safe maritime passage in the Strait of Hormuz, adding that Iran does not support imposing any toll on ships passing through the waterway.
