🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡- "US obstruction in some clauses of the agreement continues so far

Despite some talks today, US obstruction in some clauses of the agreement, including the issue of releasing Iran's blocked assets, still continues and these issues remain unresolved so far.

Accordingly, there is still a possibility that the agreement may be canceled, and Iran has emphasized that it will not retreat from its red lines to uphold the rights of the people," - Tasnim News.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡- "Less than 24 hours after optimism emerged around a possible Iran-US memorandum, negative vibes are already surfacing.

A well-informed Iranian source tells me there are signs of U.S. retreat on two central issues: the mechanism for unfreezing Iranian assets, and the scope of a ceasefire in Lebanon.

According to the source, the memorandum includes a Lebanon ceasefire framework, but Israel is reportedly uncomfortable with the arrangement and is pushing Washington to include language allowing it to carry out military operations in Lebanon under the justification of responding to “any threat.” Iran is rejecting that formulation and insisting on a sustainable and lasting ceasefire.

Tehran has informed all mediators, including Pakistan, that it will not sign the memorandum unless all clauses are fully agreed and guaranteed. Pakistan reportedly suggested moving forward with agreed sections while postponing contentious points, but Iran rejected that approach, insisting the disputed clauses are fundamental and non-negotiable.

The overall picture suggests Tehran increasingly views Washington as backing away from earlier understandings reached through mediators," - al-Jazeera.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡- "Points of contention in the Iranian-American agreement:

1. Israel demands a guarantee of "freedom of military action" against threats in Lebanon, and Iran refuses.

2. Tehran demands the immediate release of its assets now, and Washington refuses and insists on linking it to the final formula of the agreement," - Israeli Channel 12.
