Tehran (HRNW)- Iran has clarified that formal negotiations with the United States on a comprehensive agreement have not yet started, despite ongoing diplomatic contacts between the two countries.
Speaking to the state news agency IRNA, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghai said that Tehran and Washington have not yet reached the stage of formal negotiations on a final or comprehensive agreement.
Baghai dismissed reports suggesting that the current diplomatic engagements constitute official negotiations for a final deal. He said that describing the ongoing contacts as formal negotiations is inaccurate.
According to the spokesperson, any progress toward a comprehensive agreement will depend on future diplomatic engagements and mutual decisions taken by both sides.
His remarks come amid recent reports regarding diplomatic contacts between Iran and the United States, the implementation of a memorandum of understanding, and discussions at the technical level. However, Iran has reiterated that formal negotiations on a final agreement—particularly concerning its nuclear program—have not yet commenced.
Analysts believe Tehran’s latest statement indicates that while diplomatic communication between the two countries continues, additional consultations, confidence-building measures, and further negotiations will be required before any comprehensive agreement can be reached.
