The Iranian Foreign Ministry's spokesman said that talks have centered on ending the war, easing sanctions, and unfreezing frozen assets, according to Israeli journalist Yair Goldblatt. The statement follows a series of Iranian claims in recent days that progress is being made in understandings with the United States, though no signing date has been set.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei stated Sunday evening that the ongoing talks with the United States have focused on ending the war, easing sanctions, and unfreezing Iran's frozen assets. The remarks, reported by Israeli journalist Yair Goldblatt, align with a series of recent Iranian claims of progress in the emerging US-Iran understanding, including agreements on oil sanctions relief and asset unfreezing reported earlier Sunday.
As The Zioneer has reported over the past week, Iranian officials have consistently framed the dialogue as aimed at ending hostilities and securing sanctions relief, while deferring the nuclear issue to later stages. No date has been set for signing the memorandum of understanding, and the timeline for implementation remains unclear. The claims have not yet been corroborated by independent or official US sources.
