Breaking: Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Reveals Ongoing Negotiations in a Professional Atmosphere

In the ongoing diplomatic saga, the talks between Iran and the U.S. are being conducted in a professional environment, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson. This crucial dialogue, mediated by Oman, marks a significant moment in international relations.

Speaking with IRNA in Rome on Friday, Esmaeil Baqaei shared insights about the negotiations:

  • Omani Foreign Minister is facilitating communications between senior Iranian and American negotiators.
  • Baqaei emphasized that reports from foreign media regarding the discussions are mere speculations and lack confirmation.
  • This marks the fifth round of indirect negotiations taking place in Rome.

Baqaei noted, “Each round of talks comes with its own unique circumstances and sensitivities.” This highlights the complexity and evolving nature of the discussions.

Prior to his departure to Italy, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi expressed on X, “Figuring out the path to a deal is not rocket science: Zero nuclear weapons = we DO have a deal. Zero enrichment = we do NOT have a deal.” His statement underscores the critical conditions surrounding the negotiations.

Araqchi arrived in Rome on Friday to engage in discussions with Steve Witkoff, the U.S. President’s special envoy for the Middle East. The ongoing talks are being mediated by Oman, with a focus on reaching a consensus.

So far, Araqchi has participated in four rounds of negotiations—three in Muscat and one in Rome—working indirectly with Witkoff. The mediation by Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Al-Busaidi has been pivotal in these discussions.

The Iranian delegation accompanying Araqchi includes:

  • Esmaeil Baqaei
  • Majid Takht-e-Ravanchi, Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs
  • Kazem Gharibabadi, Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs
  • Several other diplomats and experts

The outcome of these negotiations could have significant implications for international relations and nuclear policy.
