Iran said Monday that he did not spread a meeting with the United States for conversations about the Iranian nuclear program, but that “no date” had yet been solved.
“At the moment, a specific date, time, time or place for a meeting has not been established,” said diplomacy spokesman Esmaïl Baghaï, interviewed by journalists at a meeting between Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran, and Steve Witkoff, his interlocutor on the US side in nuclear conversations.
“We will not enter any negotiation process if we are not convinced of its effectiveness,” said the head of Iranian diplomacy during his speech.
The two men have delayed five cycles of conversations since April, before Israel launched a surprise attack against Iran, which caused a 12 -day war on June 13.
An “appropriate response” in case of United Nations sanctions
Esmaïl Baghaï also argued that the rumors of a mediator change during the next cycle of nuclear negotiations were “false.” Currently, it is the Oman who plays this conciliatory role between nations.
The head of the Iranian diplomacy warned about an “appropriate and proportional response” by the Mullahs regime in case of “snapback” by the United Nations.
This clause allows to repress the economic and political sanctions without veto risk in the United Nations, in case of violation of the “JCPOA” agreement of Vienna, in 2015. “A simple letter is sufficient,” said French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barot, at the end of June in LCI.
“The threat of triggering the ‘Snapback’ mechanism is a political maneuver aimed at confrontation with Iran. And it will be the subject of an appropriate and proportional response of us,” he said, arguing that the clause had no “legal or political base.”
