Iran Demands Swift Action in U.S. Talks on Nuclear Program
(MENAFN) Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, emphasized the country's commitment to the ongoing indirect negotiations with the United States, stressing that there should be no delays in the diplomatic process. He made these comments during a meeting with the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian Parliament in Tehran, according to media reports, citing committee spokesperson Ebrahim Rezaei.
Gharibabadi shared that during the second round of indirect talks between Tehran and Washington, held in Rome on Saturday, both parties agreed on "the overall framework, agenda, and (subsequent) technical talks."
The deputy foreign minister also underscored that "all sanctions (on Iran) should be lifted in a way that benefits the Iranian people economically." At the same time, he made it clear that Iran would not engage in talks over its right to enrich uranium, calling it "among the red lines."
The Rome discussions, along with the previous round in Muscat, Oman, on April 12, focused on Iran’s nuclear program and the removal of U.S. sanctions. Both sides described the meetings as "constructive." These talks followed U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to strike Iran if the country did not accept his offer to negotiate, presented in a letter to Iran's leadership in early March.
Iran had signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in July 2015 with six major countries—Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia, and the United States—agreeing to limit its nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. However, the U.S. withdrew from the deal in May 2018, reimposing sanctions and prompting Iran to scale back some of its nuclear commitments. Efforts to revive the deal have seen limited success.
