Iran: We have reached fundamental understandings with the USA, will work on a draft possible agreement
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi announced that Iran and the USA have reached fundamental understandings and will work on potential agreement documents, despite unresolved issues between the two nations.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi made significant statements regarding the ongoing negotiations with the United States, indicating that both countries have reached fundamental understandings. This development is crucial as it signifies a potential thaw in relationships, particularly after prolonged tensions over Iran's nuclear program and sanctions imposed by the U.S. Araqchi emphasized that both sides will collaborate on drafting possible agreements, hinting at a constructive dialogue facilitated by Oman in Geneva.
The Iranian minister also noted that discussions have centered around the lifting of sanctions against Tehran and modifications to the nuclear program. Although Araqchi highlighted 'positive progress' within these negotiations, the lack of an official response from the U.S. raises questions about the sincerity and viability of these talks. The negotiations come at a critical juncture, as the Trump administration seeks a deal that would restrict Iran's nuclear activities, ensuring that the country does not develop nuclear weapons.
Moreover, an Iranian official indicated that they arrived in Geneva with constructive and realistic proposals, maintaining a serious and positive attitude towards the discussions with the United States. However, they stressed the importance of the U.S. showing commitment and seriousness in the negotiations, particularly regarding sanctions removal and avoiding overly ambitious demands. The outcome of these talks could have significant implications for regional stability and international relations, particularly concerning Iran's military capabilities and the broader geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East.
