At the same time, Al Mayadeen | Breaking, a channel affiliated with the Axis of Resistance, reported that the Pakistani Interior Minister, Mohsin Naqvi, expressed optimism regarding the upcoming talks in Switzerland, noting that "the files have been placed on the right track".

These statements were further reinforced by Al Mayadeen Channel, which reported that Momeni confirmed that "negotiations will be renewed for the purpose of implementing the articles of the memorandum of understanding" and added that, in his view, the path is positive.

On the internal-political front, Kul Al Arab Breaking News reported on remarks by the Iranian President, according to which all articles of the memorandum of understanding serve Iranian interests.
