A member of the Assembly of Experts stated: Exiting this situation cannot be achieved merely by declaring an end to the threat; rather, the end of the war must be guaranteed by the enemy. From the very first day, we have emphasized that the enemy should not pose a threat against Iran again. Negotiations should not merely be for the sake of negotiation; rather, their goal should be to guarantee the end of the war and prevent the recurrence of aggression.
