Foreign Ministry Spokesperson: The duration of talks depends on their progress

Esmaeil Baghaei, stating that the duration of the negotiations depends on their progress, said: Iran is participating in the sanctions-lifting talks with full seriousness and preparedness and will continue to cooperate as long as the negotiations proceed constructively.

He added: Iran’s nuclear program is entirely peaceful, and Iran is ready to address any doubts in this regard. Illegal sanctions must be lifted reliably and with necessary guarantees. Iran’s stance on these two issues is firm and principled.

Denial of News about suspension of indirect Iran-U.S. talks

An informed source, speaking to IRIB News Agency, refuted reports published by a news channel claiming a 15-minute suspension of the negotiations.

The false report had claimed that the Iranian Foreign Minister suspended the talks due to the U.S. side raising non-nuclear issues.

Baghaei: Negotiations are being conducted as in the first round

Esmaeil Baghaei, the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, told IRIB: The indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States began an hour ago at the residence of the Omani ambassador in Italy, with the presence of the Omani Foreign Minister. Prior to this, [Foreign Minister] Araghchi met with his Italian counterpart and discussed a range of issues. The Italian side thanked us for providing them the opportunity to host the talks. The format of the negotiations is the same as the first round, with the delegations stationed in separate rooms. The Omani Foreign Minister had a busy day, constantly shuttling between the two delegations to convey messages and positions. As usual, we met with the Omani Foreign Minister before the start of the indirect talks. The negotiations, like the first round, are being conducted indirectly through Oman. It is not surprising that false news and incorrect narratives emerge. It is our duty, as the Foreign Ministry and the media, to perform our responsibilities correctly. Our media should not amplify such news and should follow reports from official sources. These are part of the efforts to create distractions. Instead of focusing on such distractions, we should concentrate on securing the interests of the Iranian nation.

News of direct iran-U.S. talks is false

An informed source, speaking to IRIB News Agency, addressed some media reports about direct Iran-U.S. talks in Rome, stating: "Media access to the negotiation venue is not possible, and therefore, such reports from inside the talks are fabricated."
