Tehran, IRNA – Foreign Ministry spokesperson says that the Iranian negotiating team will explicitly raise concerns about the United States’ contradictory positions and the continuation of the sanctions in the beginning of the negotiations.

So far, Araqchi has conducted four rounds of negotiations – three in Muscat and one in Rome – with Witkoff indirectly, facilitated by Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Al-Busaidi.

Baqaei, Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Majid Takht-e-Ravanchi, Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi, and several other diplomats and experts are part of the delegation accompanying Araqchi

Before departing for Rome, Araqchi wrote on his X, “Figuring out the path to a deal is not rocket science: Zero nuclear weapons = we DO have a deal. Zero enrichment = we do NOT have a deal.”
