Iran Signals Willingness for Deal: Administration Spokesperson Highlights Timing as Key Factor

Tehran’s administration is carefully monitoring the United States’ true intentions regarding its indirect negotiations with Iran. The spokesperson has emphasized that Tehran is prepared for a deal when the timing is right.

In an exclusive interview with NHK on Friday, Fatemeh Mohajerani stated that Iran is committed to engaging in negotiations that prioritize the nation’s interests and peace. She highlighted the following points:

  • The first expert-level discussions to examine the details of agreements are set for Saturday.
  • Iran is cautious about the U.S. government’s real motives behind the negotiations.
  • The country supports dialogue that is free from pressure and threats.

When asked about the U.S. attempts to broaden the discussions to include non-nuclear issues, such as Iran’s missile program and its alleged support for regional resistance groups, Mohajerani firmly stated that the talks will remain focused solely on the nuclear issue. She reiterated that Iran will not entertain any efforts to expand the scope of the discussions.

As the situation evolves, Tehran remains vigilant and ready to navigate the complexities of international negotiations.
