Conditions of the Islamic Republic for Negotiations
Qashqavi stated that the difference between the negotiations in Islamabad and New York, which were conducted through indirect mediation by Qatar, only relates to the "compression of time." He clarified that the Islamic Republic is in the "post-negotiation" phase, and in this regard, the temporary transit corridor between Tehran and Oman, as well as the Parliament's law in this area, are completely clear and transparent.
