Iranian delegations and the United States concluded a fifth round of talks in Rome on Friday and signs of some limited progress in negotiations aimed at resolving decades -long dispute over. Tehran nuclear ambitions.
Although both Washington and Trana are taking a difficult position in public places before Talks on Iranian uranium enrichmentand Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragichi said that there is a possibility of progress after Oman made several proposals during the talks.
“We have just completed one of the most professional conversations rounds … We mentioned firmly Iran’s position … The fact that we are now in a reasonable path, in my opinion, it is in itself a sign of progress,” Araghchi told State TV.
“The proposals and solutions will be reviewed in the capitals … and The next round of conversations It will be scheduled accordingly. “
A senior official in the United States said the talks lasted for more than two hours and were direct and indirect with Omani brokers.
The official said: “The talks are still constructive – we have made more progress, but there is still a work to do.
High risks for both sides. President Donald Trump wants to reduce the capabilities of Tehran to produce a nuclear weapon that could lead It may threaten Israel. The Islamic Republic, for its part, wants to get rid of the destructive sanctions on its oil -based economy.
Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusidi said in Q.
Before the conversations, Araghchi wrote on X: “Nuclear weapons zero = we have a deal. The zero enrichment = we do not have a deal. It is time to make decisions.”
Among the remaining blocs, Tehran refuses to ship it outside Full stock of very enriched uranium – potential raw materials for nuclear bombs – Or engage in discussions on the ballistic missile program.
The diplomats said that reaching a concrete deal before the summer would be technically impossible, given the complexities of the agreement. “If Washington drops a” enrichment of zero “request, a political agreement is possible,” said a senior Iranian official involved in nuclear talks with the United States.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that Washington is working to reach an agreement that allows Iran to have a civilian nuclear energy program but does not enrich uranium, while admitting that this “will not be easy.”
The Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khounai, who has the last opinion on the state’s issues, rejected the demands to stop improving uranium as “excessive and examined”, warning that such talks are unlikely to result in results.
Iran says it is ready to accept some borders to enrich, but it needs tight guarantees to overcome that Washington will not back down from a future nuclear agreement.
Trump, in his first term in 2018, got rid of a 2015 nuclear agreement between the major powers and Iran. Since his return to office this year, he has regained a “maximum pressure” campaign on Tehran and the re -imposition of US sanctions that continue to describe the Iranian economy.
Iran was redeemed by escalating the enrichment until after the limits of the 2015 agreement.
Windy Sherman, a precedent ministry of the United States that led the negotiating team in the United States, which reached the 2015 agreement, said earlier that Tehran is offering an enrichment as a matter of sovereignty.
“I don’t think it is possible to get a deal with Iran, as they literally dismantle their program, and give up their enrichment, although this will be perfect,” she told Reuters.
The cost of failure of conversations can be high. Israel sees the Iranian bow that the Iranian nuclear program represents an existential threat and says it will never allow the religious establishment to obtain nuclear weapons. Tehran says it has no purely civil aspirations and purposes.
A source of Reuters, a source realized by Reuters, said that the Minister of Strategic Affairs in Israel and the head of the foreign intelligence service, Mossad, was scheduled to be in Rome to hold talks with American negotiators, a source said Reuters.
Aragchchi said on Thursday that Washington will bear a legal responsibility if Israel attacked the Iranian nuclear structures, after the CNN that Israel was preparing.
