Iran Signals Openness: Key Grounds Established for Resuming Diplomatic Talks

In a significant development regarding international diplomacy, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi has highlighted the potential for the resumption of negotiations with other involved parties. This statement comes amidst ongoing discussions surrounding Iran’s nuclear program and the impact of sanctions.

During the 75th Anniversary of the Adoption of the 1949 Geneva Conventions held in Tehran on Tuesday, Gharibabadi expressed the Islamic Republic’s readiness to engage in talks. He emphasized that:

• The Islamic Republic is always prepared for negotiations.
• If other parties demonstrate determination, the negotiations are likely to be fruitful.
• Tehran will adopt a proportionate approach if different policies are pursued by other sides.
• A fresh round of talks has been agreed upon, with the specific date to be determined through consultations.

Gharibabadi further reiterated the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program, stating that:

• The unilateral unlawful sanctions have proven ineffective.
• Resuming talks is a sensible approach to lift the imposed sanctions.

As the situation evolves, the international community will be watching closely to see if these negotiations will progress positively and lead to a resolution of ongoing tensions.
