Iran's deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi said no technical talks with the United States regarding implementation of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) are expected this week, state media reported. The statement reinforces the suspension of the bilateral track.
Iran's deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi told state media Monday that no technical talks between Iran and the United States regarding the implementation of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) are expected this week, according to Iranian channels.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, a senior Iranian official had already ruled out upcoming technical talks with the US, a hardening of Tehran's position that follows a series of diplomatic pauses. On Sunday, an Iranian official said Tehran skipped the planned technical talks, citing recent attacks and unmet conditions — a move that appeared to confirm the suspension of the bilateral track.
Gharibabadi's latest statement reiterates that position into the current week, with no shift in Iran's stance. The MOU, which Iranian officials have described as focused on ending the war rather than the nuclear file, has not been published in full. The status of any future engagement remains unclear.
