The Iranian authorities have stated this Wednesday that the United States would be trying to achieve a "dignified exit" from the region, at a time of deadlock in the war and after the expiration of the 60-day deadline set to reach an understanding between Washington and Tehran, with no new rounds of dialogue scheduled for now.
During his official visit to Iraq, the president of the Iranian Parliament and head of the negotiating team, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, has emphasized that "in the new regional order, the intervention of foreign powers in the relations between states is rapidly decreasing."
In this context, Qalibaf has stressed that "the United States seeks a dignified exit from the region, and the 'from the river to the sea' project of the Zionist entity is nothing more than a chimerical dream," and has presented his trip to the neighboring country as a gesture aimed at "reinforcing the new order established in the region" of the Middle East, based on the absence of "foreign interference."
The words of the Iranian leader come amid a verbal escalation between Washington and Tehran, after the 14-point memorandum of understanding that provided for a truce and a 60-day period to finalize a definitive pact has expired.
For his part, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, has assured that "there are no conversations or dialogue" planned with Iran and has confirmed that the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz remains in effect after the end of the agreement reached last June.
In the absence of progress on the diplomatic front, the occupant of the White House has intensified his messages directed at Tehran to "surrender" and even disseminated an image in which he proclaimed the strait as "new territory" of the United States, in line with the control that Washington claims to exercise over this strategic maritime passage.
