Iranian President Pezzahizyan said during a meeting with visiting Pakistani Army Chief of Staff Mounir on the 20th that the US side must lift sanctions against Iran; this is a prerequisite for any negotiations between Iran and the US. According to a statement published on the website of the Iranian President's Office, Pezzahizyan stressed that while the US is strengthening sanctions and pressure to block Iran's way out, it is calling for dialogue and negotiations. “This is not going to work.” At the same time, he said that Iran is ready for dialogue. Pezerhizyan also said that the US accusations against Iran lack legitimacy, and Iran has shown sincerity in negotiations and inspections on the nuclear issue within the framework of international law. Mounir briefed Iran on diplomatic efforts aimed at easing the tense situation. He expressed regret that the memorandum of understanding between Iran and the US, which was brokered by the Palestinian side, was not implemented, and worried that a new round of fighting might break out. He emphasized the importance of resolving the issue through diplomatic channels, and stated that Pakistan is willing to provide relevant assistance. Mounir led a delegation to Iran's capital Tehran on the 20th to discuss with Iran. During his visit, Mounir also met with Iranian Foreign Minister Alagzi, Islamic Parliament Speaker Kalibaf, and Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsin Rezai.
