Baqaei: Halting Iran’s nuclear program is not fundamentally an issue in negotiations
TEHRAN (Iran News) Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has stressed that halting Iran’s nuclear program is not being discussed in the negotiations.
Emphasizing that stopping Iran’s nuclear program is not fundamentally an issue in the negotiations, Baqaei told reporters: “Our nuclear program will definitely continue with seriousness.”
Baqaei continued that Iran’s goal in the negotiations is to preserve its achievements and put an end to the sanctions that have been unjustly imposed on the Iranian nation.
Iranian negotiators, led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, engaged in a fourth round of discussions with a U.S. delegation in Muscat on Sunday. The American team was headed by the President’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.
Mediated by Oman, the talks have been described by both sides as productive and progressing well. The discussions are primarily focused on Iran’s nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions through a potential agreement to replace the 2015 landmark deal, which the U.S. unilaterally withdrew from during Trump’s first term in office.
