According to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei, Iran acknowledges and appreciates Russia’s constructive contributions to its nuclear negotiations.

Baqaei emphasized the following key points regarding the current state of affairs:

  • Russia’s Role: Iran values Russia’s positive impact on its nuclear issue and trusts that its Russian counterparts will continue to be pivotal if necessary.
  • Iran-U.S. Negotiations: The negotiations between Iran and the United States are still in their early stages, with no detailed discussions having commenced.
  • Speculations on Mediation: Baqaei dismissed claims regarding Saudi Arabia’s mediation in the indirect talks, labeling them as mere rumors that do not reflect the actual situation.
  • Recent Talks: Iran and the U.S. have conducted two rounds of indirect negotiations, facilitated by Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, with a third round set to occur in Muscat, Oman.

In summary, while the dialogues between Iran and the U.S. are still unfolding, Baqaei’s statements highlight Iran’s reliance on Russia as a key ally in navigating the complexities of nuclear discussions.
