TEHRAN - Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said Tuesday Iran will not enter negotiations with the United States on a final agreement unless certain paragraphs of a recently signed peace memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two sides are implemented.

Qalibaf, also the head of Iran's negotiating team, made the remarks in an interview with state-run IRIB TV while elaborating on the latest developments pertaining to the implementation of the peace MoU and talks with the United States.

He said Iran's recent trip to Switzerland sought to implement the MoU provisions for ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, lifting the US naval blockade, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, issuing US waivers for Iranian crude oil exports, and releasing frozen Iranian assets.

Unless these five preliminary paragraphs are fulfilled, the other paragraphs' implementation will not begin, Qalibaf said.

He said Iran, the United States and Lebanon agreed to form a joint committee to enforce the ceasefire, ensure the war's end in Lebanon, and uphold Lebanese sovereignty, adding that Iran and the United States, two of the three parties, already named their representatives.

Iran both pursues the path of dialogue and responds with force wherever necessary, he added.

On June 18, Iran and the United States signed the MoU on ending the war in the region. On June 22, technical negotiations between Iran and the United States began in Switzerland following high-level consultations between Iranian and US delegations the previous day with the mediation of Pakistan and Qatar.

Also on Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said that Iran's delegation, comprising experts, will hold talks with Qatari officials on Wednesday on the release of Iran's frozen assets in Qatar under a recently signed MoU between Tehran and Washington.

Speaking at a weekly press conference in Tehran, Baghaei said the Doha talks will focus on implementing certain provisions of the MoU, including Paragraph 11 that pertains to the release of Iran's frozen assets.

He added that all necessary preparations have been made, expressing hope that the work will proceed properly and the desired result will be achieved.

Baghaei stressed that what's important to Iran is gaining access to its funds and using them as it sees fit to purchase what the country needs.

He also confirmed that no meetings with US officials at any level have been scheduled for the coming days.

Meanwhile, Baghaei also said that a large number of officials from both regional and non-regional countries have voiced readiness to attend the funeral ceremonies of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

He described the ceremonies as the "most important event" in the coming days in Iran, the West Asia region, and beyond.

Baghaei said that all neighboring countries will send representatives, and that Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi's recent visit to Iraq was partly aimed at coordinating the ceremonies there.
