Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared Tuesday evening that Tehran will begin formal negotiations with Washington on its nuclear program and sanctions relief immediately upon signing a memorandum of understanding, N12 reports. The statement provides the clearest timetable yet from a senior Iranian official regarding the diplomatic track with the US.
Araghchi's remarks come as the diplomatic flurry around a potential US-Iran framework intensifies. As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, Araghchi earlier in the day characterized the talks with Washington as being conducted from "a position of distrust" due to past US breaches of commitments. Over recent days, he has held consultations with his French, Lebanese, Qatari, and regional counterparts.
The precise content and status of the MOU remain unconfirmed by US officials. Araghchi's framing ties the start of direct negotiations specifically to the signing of the document, suggesting the MOU itself may function as a procedural gateway rather than a substantive agreement.
