Al Jazeera reported Iranian foreign minister Araghchi said the US sought to
force Iran to surrender in the conflict but "we will not surrender," and is now
"begging" to negotiate on Iran's terms. He said a memorandum of understanding
with the US contains 13 clauses favorable to Iran and one favorable to the US,
accused Israel of trying to block its implementation, and said Iran's military
and battlefield capabilities underpin its diplomatic leverage.
