In a recent interview, Mojtaba Ferdowsi, the head of the Iranian interests office in Cairo, remarked on the current geopolitical situation, suggesting that Iran has achieved a significant victory over both the United States and Israel in their ongoing conflicts. He argued that the contradictions in U.S. policy statements, particularly those from former President Trump, coupled with political instability within Washington, reflect a major defeat for Iran’s adversaries. Ferdowsi insists that Iran desires to ensure no further aggressive actions from the U.S. and Israel while standing firm in its position against these countries.

Ferdowsi emphasized Iran's readiness to respond decisively to any aggression, asserting the nation’s commitment to diplomatic resolutions while protecting its national interests and supporting the oppressed Iranian populace. He highlighted the importance of maintaining a defensive posture that aligns with Iran's national interests, suggesting a balance between military readiness and diplomatic engagement.

Regarding negotiations, Ferdowsi clarified that there are no direct communications between the U.S. and Iranian foreign ministers, with messages being relayed through intermediaries. He noted that Iran has yet to respond to any proposals, as it has clear conditions for engaging in any dialogue, underscoring Tehran's strategic calculations in the fraught geopolitical landscape of the Middle East.
