Iran-US Nuclear Talks Postponed

By Staff, Agencies

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Thursday that the talks, planned to be held in Rome on Saturday, was pushed back on the suggestion of Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad al-Busaidi.

Oman’s top diplomat said on his X account that the change was made due to “logistical reasons” and that “new dates will be announced when mutually agreed.”

Baghaei reaffirmed Iran’s resolve to use diplomacy aimed at safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the Iranian people and also to have the existing sanctions and economic pressures that have targeted the human rights and well-being of every single Iranian lifted.

The Iranian delegation, since the first round, has approached the process in good faith, he said. Tehran has outlined clear frameworks based on its principled positions and in line with international law regarding the peaceful use of nuclear energy and the removal of unlawful sanctions, he added.

The Islamic Republic, Baghaei said, will remain strongly committed to this path with strength and determination, stressing that Tehran is resolutely pursuing result-oriented talks aimed at reaching a fair, reasonable, and lasting agreement.
