The contradictory behavior of the United States, their continuing sanctions and threats strengthened distrust and doubts regarding the seriousness of diplomacy during negotiations. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran Abbas Arakchi.
According to Iran Foreign Ministry, Arakchi held a telephone conversation with the UN Secretary General Antoniu Gutherrish.
It is noted that during the conversation, Arakchi informed Gaterrisha about the process of negotiations with the United States.
“being a member of the agreement on non -proliferation of nuclear weapons, Iran insists on his right to use atomic energy for peaceful purposes, for which the enrichment of Uranus is required,” said the Foreign Minister Iri, noting that Tehran retains committed international obligations as a participant in the agreement on non -proliferation of nuclear weapons.
According to him, the “contradictory” behavior and statements of the US officials, as well as the continuing sanctions and threats against the Iranian people, led to increased distrust of distrust of the seriousness of the intentions of US diplomacy.
Tehran expects the European sides of the nuclear agreement – the United Kingdom, France and Germany – will show a constructive approach to resolving existing disputes, ”Arakchi noted.
The UN Secretary General, for its part, emphasized the importance of continuing the negotiation process with the United States until the result is achieved.
GUERRISH also expressed condolences in connection with the explosion that occurred in the port in the south of Iran on April 26, as a result of which dozens of people died.
The United States has left the nuclear agreement with Iran unilaterally in 2018 by decision of the President of that period Donald Trump. In March of this year, the head of the White House Trump sent a letter to the spiritual leader of Iran Ayatolle Ali Hamenya with a call to conduct direct negotiations. The letter was also accompanied by threats to Iran.
Tehran responded to the message through the mediation of Oman, after which the first indirect negotiations took place on April 12 in the Muscat. On April 19, the parties again met in Rome with the assistance of Oman. Both Tehran and Washington then announced the progress achieved. The fourth round of negotiations was to be held in Rome on May 3. However, Foreign Minister Oman Badr Bin Hamad al-Busaidi, who acted as an intermediary in negotiations, said on social networks X that negotiations were postponed for “logistics reasons”.
