[Iranian Source: US Says It's Ready to Negotiate with Iran] On the 19th local time, a reporter from CCTV learned from a high-ranking Iranian source who wished to remain anonymous that Qatar and Pakistan, acting as mediators, have informed Iran that the United States is ready to negotiate and reach an agreement, and is serious about advancing this process. The source indicated that, as far as Iran is concerned, if the United States returns to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding and fulfills its terms, Iran is also prepared to resume implementation of the memorandum within days. However, Iran demands concrete and credible guarantees that it will not be attacked again. The United States had previously stated that it was no longer interested in the memorandum of understanding; however, the substantive content of the memorandum remains crucial for Iran in any future agreement. Iran has no intention of seeking war, as this conflict is neither in the interest of Iran and other countries in the region, nor in the interest of the United States and the wider international community.
