Odaily Planet Daily News: Seyed Abbas Mousavi, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian President's Office, told the media that day that reaching an agreement with the United States takes time. Mousavi said that one should not forget that Iran is in a state of war, and what Iran is facing is not a trade negotiation, but "negotiations with an enemy." Iran must fight for its own rights and adhere to its own stance, all of which takes time. He stated that on the issue of negotiations, "one should not act too hastily" and should understand that Iran needs to safeguard national interests and security based on full internal coordination.
