Baqaei: Stopping Iran’s Nuclear Program is Not a Key Focus in Negotiation Talks

The ongoing discussions regarding Iran’s nuclear program have garnered significant attention, particularly with recent statements from Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei. He emphasized that halting the nuclear program is not a topic of discussion in the current negotiations.

Baqaei stated clearly to reporters: “Our nuclear program will definitely continue with seriousness.” This declaration underscores Iran’s commitment to its nuclear ambitions.

He elaborated on Iran’s objectives in the negotiations, which include:

  • Preserving achievements: Iran aims to maintain the advancements it has made in its nuclear program.
  • Ending sanctions: The country seeks to lift sanctions that have been imposed unjustly on the Iranian nation.

In a significant development, Iranian negotiators, led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, participated in their fourth round of discussions with a U.S. delegation in Muscat on Sunday. The American team was headed by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, representing the President.

These talks, mediated by Oman, have been characterized by both sides as productive and progressing well. The primary focus of the discussions is on:

  1. Iran’s nuclear program
  2. The potential lifting of sanctions
  3. Arriving at a new agreement to replace the 2015 landmark deal

This agreement became a point of contention when the U.S. unilaterally withdrew during President Trump’s first term in office. As the negotiations continue, the international community will be closely monitoring the developments regarding Iran’s nuclear program and the associated geopolitical implications.
