Nuclear Negotiations Between Iran and the United States: Larijani Accuses Washington of Undermining Talks
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Ali Larijani, said Tuesday that the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States remain open, but accused Washington of trying to derail the process by raising “unsolvable issues,” such as restrictions on Iran’s missile program.
Larijani: We Seek Rational Negotiations
In a post on X, Larijani emphasized that Tehran is genuinely seeking rational talks, but argued that the United States is paving the way to cancel any serious dialogue by complicating the agenda with unrealistic demands.
Iranian Foreign Ministry’s Position
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani (Esmaeil Baghaei) stated that Tehran is currently reviewing its past experiences before responding to Washington’s proposal for direct talks. He noted that the U.S. has disrupted diplomatic efforts “at least two or three times in the past decade,” reflecting what he described as a lack of good faith from the start.
Kanaani added that “Iran faced Israeli aggression, backed by the United States, in the midst of negotiations, so the future cannot be discussed without considering these past experiences.”
Stance on European Parties
The spokesperson also reiterated that the three European signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal — Britain, France, and Germany — “have no legal authority to trigger the snapback mechanism” to reimpose previously lifted UN Security Council sanctions against Iran.
