Iran has ‘no plans’ to meet with US for talks: foreign minister
Iran currently has no plans to meet with the US, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Thursday in an interview on state TV, contradicting US President Donald Trump's statement that Washington planned to have talks with Iran next week, Reuters reported on Thursday.
The Iranian foreign minister said that whether Tehran will specifically return to talks with the US is under review and depends on its national interests, according to Iran's Press TV. The two sides had held five rounds of talks since April until the sixth round of nuclear negotiations, scheduled for June in Muscat, was cancelled after Israel's attacks on Iran.
If our interests require a return to negotiations, we will consider it. But at this stage, no agreement or promise has been made and no talks have taken place, he said in an interview with state broadcaster IRIB, as reported by the Xinhua News Agency.
The remarks came after Trump said on Wednesday that he would likely seek a commitment from Iran to end its nuclear ambitions at talks next week, according to a previous Reuters report.
However, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the US has no meetings scheduled with Iran, one day after Trump said that the two sides would talk and meet next week, Xinhua said.
Sources told CNN that the Trump administration has discussed possibly helping Iran access as much as $30 billion to build a civilian-energy-producing nuclear program, easing sanctions, and freeing up billions of dollars in restricted Iranian funds - all part of an intensifying attempt to bring Tehran back to the negotiating table, four sources familiar with the matter said.
Trump administration officials emphasized that several proposals have been floated. They are preliminary and evolving with one consistent non-negotiable: zero Iranian enrichment of uranium, which Iran has consistently said it needs, according to CNN on Thursday.
Sun Degang, director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Fudan University, told the Global Times that the main point of contention between two sides is whether Iran will continue uranium enrichment.
Previous attacks following the last round of negotiation significantly damaged Iran's trust in the US, the expert noted.
The process has been full of setbacks. Following the cancellation of US-Iranian talks in June and the US attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, it is difficult for Iran to negotiate under these conditions from the point of view of Iran's dignity. However, in the long term, Iran still needs to address the issue, Liu Zhongmin, a professor from the Middle East Studies Institute of Shanghai International Studies University, told the Global Times.
Liu added that it doesn't mean Iran will completely reject the talks, but right now, it needs to first decide whether to negotiate. If it does, the challenge will be how to rebuild the atmosphere for talks, which was damaged by the recent conflict.
