US messages
Direct talks of US and Iranian officials on Saturday in Oman will determine whether Tehran is seriously facing negotiations on its nuclear program, a State Department spokesman said today, leaving the two -year open.
“Everything that happens on Saturday will determine, I guess, if there is a continuation,” Tami Bruce said when asked if another round of direct talks would follow. “At present, a meeting has been arranged. Does not fit into a broader context. It is a meeting to determine whether the Iranians are serious or not, “said the US Foreign Ministry spokesman.
Earlier, US diplomat leader Marco Rubio told the cabinet meeting under the chairmanship of Donald Trump: “We hope it will lead to peace. We were very clear that Iran will never get a nuclear weapon and I think this led to the forthcoming meeting. “.
President Trump that Washington and Tehran were ready to launch direct talks on the Iranian nuclear program, warning that Iran would run “a great danger” if their outcome was not successful.
The announcement had caused confusion because Iran spoke of indirect talks, with Oman’s mediation. However, an American official assured that diplomats from the two countries will be in the same room.
The time
Donald Trump withdrew in 2018 during his first term in the presidency, the US from the international agreement on Iran’s nuclear program and reinstated sanctions against Tehran.
Since then, Iran has enriched uranium to a rate much greater than the 2015 agreement, according to the IAEA.
Western countries accuse Iran of seeking to obtain a nuclear weapon, which is denied by Tehran, stressing that its nuclear program has sole peaceful purposes.
