BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 1. At the current stage
of negotiations between Iran and the United States, discussions
concerning Iran’s nuclear program have not taken place, a
spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmail
Baghaei, said during a press conference in Tehran, Trend reports.
According to Baghaei, Iran is fully aware of the measures it
will undertake regarding issues related to its nuclear program when
deemed necessary.
He further noted that, at this stage of the negotiations with
the United States, Iran’s primary focus is on ending the war.
“The main challenge in the discussions is that the opposing side
is adopting contradictory positions and continuously altering its
stance,” he stated.
Addressing Iran’s demands, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson
indicated that the release of Iran’s frozen assets abroad remains
one of the country’s specific demands. The mechanism for its
implementation is currently under review.
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.
