The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Iran, Esmaeil Baqaei, said on Monday that although there are still some issues that we have not yet concluded, negotiations with the US will continue. He said the current talks are focused on ending the war, and they are not discussing the details of the nuclear issue. If they reach a final agreement on a cooperation agreement, he said, talks on nuclear-related topics will continue for a period of 60 days.
“The constant change of positions and conflict, which I don’t really need to explain and which you can see just by looking at the tweets issued by American officials, indicates what situation we are facing and under what conditions we should continue the communication program with such a partner,” said Baqaei. “This naturally creates its own problems and obstacles.”
