Iran FM on Iran- Nuclear Talks

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said Sunday that indirect talks will continue if Iran comes to the conclusion that the United States has the “necessary seriousness” to reach a negotiated solution to Iran’s nuclear issue.

He made the remarks at a press conference in Tehran while elaborating on the indirect nuclear talks held on Friday between the Iranian and U.S. delegations in the Omani capital Muscat. He said that Iran’s missile program has never been and will not be on the agenda of the talks with the United States, and the sole focus is, and will be, the country’s nuclear program.

He emphasized that Iran will never give up on its right to develop and exploit peaceful nuclear energy, including uranium enrichment, noting that the negotiations’ success will depend on the other side taking that issue seriously.
