In reading the statements of Qalibaf and Pezeshkian today,

which coincide with what is being discussed regarding the controversy over the

memorandum of understanding with the Americans,

where do we place them in the current context?

It is clear that both officials in Iran want to say, but each

person in their own language," Let us differ, let us perhaps

have some disagreements here and there, but we must not go to a space

where all this talk turns into an internal

dispute between the poles of power in Iran,

starting from everything happening

in the memorandum of understanding with the United States of America.

There are those, like President Pezeshkian,

who call for forging the home front, forging society, strengthening society,

and recognizing perhaps the country's economic problems,

the necessity of turning to the domestic economic dimension, and demanding from here

that the Foreign Minister, the chief negotiator,

and the Speaker of Parliament did not pay much attention to

the Leader's five conditions while drafting this memorandum. Among the five

conditions,

there is There are roughly two clear conditions in the memorandum but there are

perhaps three unclear conditions, From here, the far right. On the far left in Iran,

the reformists,

who are perhaps considered part of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's camp,

believe that the conditions are

very ripe to sign this agreement, on the grounds that the economic dimension

in the country cannot hold out any longer.

And we must not exaggerate— and this is according to this faction—

we must not exaggerate too much in clinging to the Lebanese clause in

the memorandum of understanding as if it were the backbone of this memorandum.
