Iranian Foreign Minister #AbbasAraghchi told Iran’s state TV that, from #Tehran’s perspective, "there is no longer any basis for negotiations with the E3 countries," and the country is not seeking such talks.
He added that the #UnitedStates recently requested direct talks with Iran on the sidelines of the #UnitedNations meetings, a message conveyed by Witkoff. #Iran expressed readiness to engage, but only on the condition that representatives from the E3 countries and the #IAEA Director, #RafaelGrossi, be present, which the latter refused.
Araghchi emphasized that #Iran remains open to studying any new, fair plan from Washington that respects the interests of the Iranian people and is willing to engage in dialogue. He asserted that Iran will not relinquish its right to nuclear enrichment, though it is ready to provide assurances to the international community, if required. regarding the peaceful nature of its nuclear program.
