Why it matters:
The minister's remarks highlight ongoing tensions in U.S.-Iran relations and the complexities of diplomatic negotiations. Iran's reluctance to accept the proposed date reflects its cautious approach to talks, emphasizing the need for mutual respect and clear terms.
What he's saying:
He added, “The date has been announced, but we are still reviewing it.”
Reffering to today's remarks by the Leader of the Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Foreign Minister said, “I think he just mentioned the gist of the matter. In recent days, we have witnessed positions from the Americans that are incompatible with any logic.”
He further noted, “Such statements pose a challenge for the talks. That is why we have not yet set a date for the next round of discussions; we are still reviewing it, and we hope that rationality will prevail.”
