BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 4. Negotiations between
the United States and Iran are ongoing with Pakistan’s mediation,
Trend reports.
This was stated by Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail
Baghaei at a press conference held today in Tehran.
According to him, Iran will definitely convey its response to
the reply it received from the United States through the mediating
party.
Baghaei noted that the decision-making mechanism in Iran
regarding the negotiations is transparent. Iran had already taken
all necessary steps prior to the talks.
“The Iranian side believes that any potential agreement should
address all areas, including a ceasefire in Lebanon, as all
processes in the region are interconnected,” he said.
It should be noted that due to the lack of concrete results in
negotiations between the U.S. and Iran over the nuclear program,
the United States and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran on
February 28. Iran, in turn, began targeting Israel and U.S.
facilities in the region with missiles and UAVs from the same day.
With Pakistan’s mediation, the parties agreed to a two-week
ceasefire on April 7. However, no agreement was reached during
talks held between the U.S. and Iran in Islamabad on April 11.
It is also worth noting that on April 21, U.S. President Donald
Trump stated that the ceasefire would be extended until Iran
presents its proposal and negotiations are concluded in one way or
another.
