Mehdi Mehdivi-Azad, on the “Outlook” program, said that the policy that for years had been pursued by the Islamic Republic under the title “No war, no negotiations” has now been changed to “Both war, and negotiations.” He described this change, referring to Mahmosen Razavi’s remarks, as being in contradiction with the previous positions of Ali Khamenei.

Mehdivi-Azad added that the Islamic Republic is simultaneously involved in war and pursuing negotiations, and said this shift has raised questions about the current strategy of the government and how far it is from past policies.
