Shehata on Iran diplomacy Oman’s full expert interview

Sep 25

Oman News introduces the reported rejection of Iran’s seven-day proposal and Pezeshkian’s conditional willingness to comply, then interviews Saeed Shehata before and after a connection interruption. He weighs sanctions, energy prices, U.S. elections, military constraints and mediation by Qatar, Pakistan and Oman. He cites Albusaidi’s UN meeting and argues that the June memorandum offers a basis for agreement. His economic figures, judgments about leaders’ motives and prediction of an agreement before the midterms remain his assessments, distinct from accepted terms or a verified outcome.

In excerpts of his CBS interview, Pezeshkian says Iran is ready for dialogue but rejects coercion. IRINN relays his characterization of a naval blockade and obstruction of food and medicine as a war crime, and his demand for restored trust and U.S. compliance. He says an agreed Iran–Oman transit route required coordination and blames uncoordinated passage for confrontation, adding that Iran will honor the framework if the other side does. This is his account of disputed compliance, not an accepted new agreement. Oman TV's September 26 recap emphasizes Pezeshkian's promise to meet commitments if Washington accepts the latest proposal, his willingness to begin implementation immediately if Trump reconsiders, his account of mistrust and his rejection of a direct presidential meeting. It also relays his statement that Iran does not want continued fighting and is not seeking a nuclear weapon. These remain his conditional positions, not proof of a deal or compliance.
