The Iranian presidency acknowledged that the country is going through a highly sensitive phase, facing complex challenges, and emphasized the need to broaden the decision-making circle to include diverse elites and experts rather than confining it to a limited scope.
These remarks came during extensive governmental meetings assessing the performance of vital sectors amidst recent tensions. On the other hand, the US administration confirmed it is close to concluding what it described as a "good" agreement with Tehran, while explicitly
threatening to resort to the military option as an inevitable alternative should the diplomatic track fail. Washington stipulated the immediate and unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to international navigation and the definitive end to any Iranian military nuclear
ambitions, paving the way for the withdrawal of US troops from the region. The US administration considered the recent course of events a strategic victory for its policies and a significant step toward changing the behavior of the Iranian regime.
