U.S. Talks Center on Sanctions Relief, Says Administration Spokesperson

In the midst of ongoing negotiations, Iran’s primary goal in its indirect talks with the United States is the effective removal of sanctions. Administration spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani emphasized this point during her recent press conference in Tehran.

During the weekly briefing, Mohajerani highlighted that two essential objectives of the negotiations are:

  • Sanctions relief to improve the livelihood of the Iranian people.
  • Enhancing international cooperation to stabilize the economy.

Tehran and Washington have conducted two rounds of indirect talks in Muscat, Oman, on April 12, and in Rome, Italy, on April 19. A third round is scheduled to take place in Muscat on April 26.

Mohajerani addressed the recent surge in currency rates, attributing it to market expectations and psychological pressures. She stated that these issues could be mitigated through improved international collaboration.

When asked about the transfer of enriched uranium, Mohajerani firmly stated that such actions cross Iran’s red lines. She made it clear that while various negotiation topics may be flexible, this particular issue is non-negotiable.

On the topic of foreign investments, she reassured that Iran has never imposed restrictions on investors from any nation, including the United States. She pointed out that the multilayered laws in Washington are the main barriers to American investment, reiterating Iran’s commitment to fostering a transparent and open investment environment. “We believe that this is in the interest of the Iranian nation,” she remarked.

Mohajerani also acknowledged Russia’s significant role in the negotiations, noting its position as a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council. The deepening nuclear cooperation between Tehran and Moscow has a substantial impact on the negotiation dynamics.

Lastly, she reiterated the Iranian administration’s strategic priority of strengthening ties with neighboring countries, particularly Saudi Arabia. She highlighted recent developments, such as the release of an Iranian prisoner and Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman’s visit to Tehran, as reflections of goodwill and mutual interest in regional cooperation. Mohajerani described this visit, which included a message from the Saudi king, as “more than just a normal trip.”
