- Iran conducts the highest level nuclear dialogue since the fall of US 2015.
- Dialogue focuses only on lifting nuclear issues, restrictions.
- Next round of indirect talks for April 19.
The Iran’s Foreign Ministry said on Sunday that interaction with the United States slaans for the next weekend would be “indirect” with lyrics, and focus on lifting the nuclear issues and restrictions completely.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Argchi and US Middle East Envoy Steve Witcoff held talks in Muscat on Saturday, marking the highest level Iran-US nuclear talks since the fall of the 2015 agreement.
He agreed to meet again in seven days.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmile BakaiE said in an interview with State TV, “The conversation will continue indirectly. Oman will remain mediator, but we are discussing the place of future conversation.”
He said that the dialogue would only focus on “raising nuclear issues and restrictions”, and that Iran “would not have any conversation with the American side on any other issue.”
Analysts had stated that the US would include a network of militant groups against Israel’s support for the “axis of resistance” with the agenda to be involved in the discussion on Iran’s ballistic missile program.
However, Tehran has said that it will only talk about its nuclear program.
In 2018, Donald Trump took out of the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers during his first term as an US President.
Rare talks of Saturday came after sending a letter to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khameni of Saturday, who urges nuclear talks, warning of possible military action on refusal to Iran.
Iran and America described separate Saturday’s discussions as “creative”.
Iran said the talks were indirectly working as an intermediary with Oman’s Foreign Minister.
Tehran’s Foreign Ministry said that the negotiator, Argchi and Witcoff spoke directly for “a few minutes” after the conversation.
Another round of talks will be held on Saturday, April 19.
When asked about the talks, Trump told reporters in the Air Force: “I think they are recovering. Nothing matters until you complete it.”
This process took place in a “friendly atmosphere”, Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaiidi said.
‘turn’
Tehran has agreed to increase the restrictions in Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign and repeated military threats campaign.
On Sunday, the Iranian media welcomed the rare dialogue in the form of a “decisive twist point” in relations between enemies for a long time.
Iran’s conservative Javan Daily “praised the US for not to expand the negotiations on non-nuclear issues”.
Government sponsored newspaper, Iran, described the discussions as “creative and respectable”, which was handed over to Araghchi.
Meanwhile, the reformist Sharag newspaper stated that it was a “decisive twist” in Iran-US relations.
The Kayhan newspaper, which was largely doubted in the leading days of talks, said Iran did not have “Plan B”, while “there was no clear possibility for an agreement with Donald Trump.”
However, appreciated the fact that the American side did not bring “disintegration of nuclear facilities” and “a military attack likely” during the discussion.
Tehran and Washington had no diplomatic relations soon after Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution, which topped the Western -backed Shah.
Iran has been careful about being engaged in conversation with the United States, often citing previous experiences and low trusts.
Trump reopen the economic sanctions against Iran after being taken out of the 2015 nuclear deal.
After Washington’s pullout, Tehran continued to follow the agreement for a year, but later began to bring back his commitments.
Iran has constantly refused to acquire nuclear weapons.
