Mohammad Marandi, an advisor to the Iranian negotiation team, said on Thursday that 'nothing is happening in Geneva on Sunday' and that 'there is still work to do,' pushing back against reports of an imminent agreement.
Mohammad Marandi, a member of Iran's delegation to nuclear talks and a close advisor to the negotiating team, publicly dismissed reports of a breakthrough scheduled for Sunday in Geneva. 'Nothing is happening in Geneva on Sunday,' he said. 'There is still work to do.' Marandi’s statement aligns with a series of recent denials from Iranian officials. Earlier Thursday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) rejected reports of any signing ceremony in Geneva on Sunday, as The Zioneer reported at 16:17. Over the past week, Iranian sources have uniformly pushed back against claims of a finalized agreement, citing incomplete domestic approval processes, including the absence of authorization from Mojtaba Khamenei. Marandi himself previously dismissed President Trump's warnings as 'delusions' and stated that Tehran is prepared for war. Despite the denials, Israel’s security establishment continues to assess the situation closely, with a senior Israeli source characterizing any expected document as a non-binding memorandum of understanding rather than a final accord.
