• Reciprocity and Strict Monitoring: Baghaei stressed that Tehran will monitor the implementation of commitments without any leniency, asserting: "If the Americans make excuses, we will do the same. We will not fulfill our commitments unless the other party honors theirs."
• The Red Line on Enriched Materials: He firmly stated that transferring enriched nuclear materials outside of Iran is an entirely unacceptable option and was never on the table. He noted that the "downblending" option is not new and was introduced specifically to block other unacceptable alternatives.
• Signing in Both Persian and English: He explained that the MoU was signed in both languages to ensure the highest level of transparency and prevent arbitrary interpretations in translation, confirming that both texts are completely identical.
• Lifting of Oil Sanctions Begins Today: He announced that the waiver of oil sanctions starts today and will continue during the negotiations. He emphasized that this must not remain just ink on paper, but must practically include the freedom to sell, transport, insure, and fully receive oil revenues.
• Parallel Track Negotiations on Three Files: He revealed that the talks were not limited to the MoU alone; separate, concurrent negotiations were held on: the release of frozen assets, war reparations/damages, and the lifting of oil sanctions.
• Mechanism for Releasing Frozen Assets: He pointed out that detailed negotiations took place over the past two weeks to guarantee Iran's freedom to use its frozen funds for any purchases immediately. He noted that past bitter experiences with US breaches of faith were kept in mind by Iranian negotiators to prevent any future non-compliance.
