Esmail Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian foreign ministry, indicated that while parts of the negotiation text had been finalized, Iran would not compromise on its key demands. Recent military strikes on June 10 that damaged water storage facilities in Iran have raised legal questions about whether these actions could be classified as war crimes, as they may have targeted civilian infrastructure. Legal and military experts are examining the legality of the strikes, which affected a reservoir serving approximately 20,000 people.
