“Success Depends on US Sincerity; Ball is Now in Their Court,” Says Iranian Foreign Ministry

ISLAMABAD (HRNW): Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei has stated that a final agreement should not have been expected in a single session of the Islamabad talks. He emphasized that the success of the diplomatic process now depends entirely on the seriousness and good faith of the United States.


Key Discussion Points and Complexities

In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), Esmaeil Baghaei detailed the nature of the high-stakes negotiations:

  • Exhaustive Sessions: “It has been a long and busy day for the Iranian delegation in Islamabad. Intense negotiations, mediated by Pakistan’s good offices, continued from morning without interruption.”

  • Critical Issues: The talks covered high-priority and complex topics, including the Strait of Hormuz, nuclear matters, reparation for war damages, the lifting of sanctions, and a permanent end to regional conflict.

  • New Developments: The spokesperson revealed that due to the complexity of the situation, several new subjects were added to the agenda, leading to an exchange of multiple messages and written drafts between the parties.

Message to the U.S. and Gratitude to Pakistan

Baghaei maintained a firm stance regarding the future of the dialogue:

  • The Onus on Washington: He stated that Iran will continue to strive for its rights and interests. He asserted that the success of this diplomatic effort relies on the “opposing party’s” sincerity and their recognition of Iran’s legitimate rights.

  • Appreciation for the Host: The Iranian Foreign Ministry expressed deep gratitude to the Government of Pakistan and its “warm and dignified people” for their hospitality and sincere efforts in facilitating and advancing the peace process.
