Current meetings held by Iran are aimed at fulfilling memorandum of understanding commitments and Tehran won’t enter further negotiations until the conditions of the MOU signed between Iran and the United States are met, Iran’s top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in an interview with state TV on Tuesday.

Iran has sovereignty in the Strait of Hormuz along with Oman and it will never compromise on its rights in the Strait of Hormuz, Ghalibaf says, adding that passage without cost in the strait is only for 60 days per MOU.

In an interview with state television, he also says, “We are pursuing dialogue, but if the dialogue is not implemented, we are also prepared for war and will respond accordingly.”
