مصادر إيرانية: لا وجود لاتفاق نووي مؤقت مع واشنطن

Iranian sources denied the existence of a temporary nuclear agreement with the United States, confirming that "there is no proposal for a temporary agreement from either Tehran or Washington." The Tasnim news agency reported today (Friday) that informed sources stated that no agreement has yet been reached regarding the date and location of the next round of negotiations between the two parties.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reiterated Iran's seriousness in reaching a diplomatic solution that serves everyone's interests. He expressed uncertainty about whether this goal has been achieved, commenting on American reports about the proximity of reaching an agreement. He emphasized that any agreement must stipulate the lifting of all sanctions on Iran, while allowing it to continue uranium enrichment.

For his part, a military and nuclear advisor to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Ali Shamkhani, considered that previous American presidents "imagined" the destruction of Iran's nuclear infrastructure, warning that Iran has strong defenses and "clear red lines." He added that negotiations promote progress, and interests and dignity, not coercion or surrender, according to his statement.

It is worth noting that on April 12, Tehran and Washington began talks mediated by Oman, which are the highest-level discussions between the two countries since the U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear agreement reached in 2015. The two countries showed disagreements over the sensitive issue of uranium enrichment, which remains the main point of contention.

The two countries held a fifth round of negotiations in Rome on Friday, without announcing any significant progress; however, they confirmed their readiness to hold new talks, without specifying a date for that.
