Tehran, IRNA – Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei strongly reacted to the contradictory statements on Iran’s nuclear program by Steve Witkoff, the U.S. President’s special representative for the Middle East.
In the past few hours, Witkoff’s new position on the U.S.–Iran indirect talks has witnessed a nearly 180-degree turn, Baqaei said on Wednesday.
He noted that during and after the Oman talks, the U.S. negotiator had emphasized the continuation of Iran’s enrichment program but he suddenly published a post on X emphasizing the necessity of destroying Iran’s nuclear program and some of its military industries; a position that prompted a reaction from the Foreign Ministry.
Baqaei interpreted Witkoff’s remarks as a fundamental error, writing that these remarks will certainly be seen as signs of the Americans’ lack of good faith and seriousness in the negotiations.
Baqaei also warned about extremists in the United States who seek to impose their will on the administration to sabotage the negotiations, saying that the errors stemming from these extremist views and approaches could disrupt the newly–formed path of the negotiations.
