TEHRAN, June 12 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on social media on Wednesday that an agreement with the United States to ensure “the continued peaceful nature” of Tehran’s nuclear program is “within reach.”
Let us recall that the sixth round of indirect talks between Iran and the United States on the nuclear issue is scheduled to take place on Sunday in the Omani capital Muscat.
“President /US Donald/ Trump took office saying that Iran should not have nuclear weapons. In fact, this is in line with our own doctrine and could be the main basis for the deal,” A. Araghchi said.
“It is clear that an agreement that can ensure the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program is within reach and can be reached quickly,” he added.
The minister, however, stressed that a “mutually beneficial outcome” depends on two conditions: “the continuation of Iran’s uranium enrichment program under the full control of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the effective end of sanctions /by the United States/.”
Since April, Iran and the United States have held five rounds of Oman-brokered proximity talks — three in Muscat and two in Rome. The United States has repeatedly pressed Iran to completely halt uranium enrichment, but Tehran has steadfastly refused. –0–
