BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 15. The date for the
next round of talks between the United States and Iran has not yet
been set, Esmail Baghaei, the country's Foreign Ministry
spokesperson, said at a press conference in Tehran, Trend reports.
According to him, it is natural for the parties to exchange
views on their positions during each round of negotiations. In
Islamabad, the parties presented their proposals. A package of
proposals from the U.S. and Iran’s unconditional acceptance of it
was impossible, and the other side was aware of this.
Baghaei also added that during the talks held in Islamabad
regarding the 10 points of Iran’s proposal, the other side raised
objections that Iran considered unrealistic. Iran immediately
stated its position. The talks primarily concerned the nuclear
program.
The official stated that Pakistan is currently the sole mediator
in the negotiations between Iran and the United States. Recently,
Iran’s foreign minister held telephone talks with his counterparts
from Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar, and Egypt. Currently, many countries
are engaged in negotiations with Iran and the United States and are
using every possible means to reduce tensions.
Meanwhile, as no tangible progress was made in the nuclear
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, the situation escalated on
February 28, when the United States and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran. In retaliation, Iran initiated missile and
drone strikes targeting Israeli and U.S. installations in the
region. Following these developments, a two-week ceasefire
agreement was brokered on April 7 through Pakistan's mediation.
However, during subsequent talks between the U.S. and Iran in
Islamabad on April 11, no consensus was reached.
