Iranian statements were conflicting concerning the place of the second round of negotiation with the United States on the Tehran nuclear file, as The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman announced today on Tuesday that he would be held in the Omanaise capital, Muscat, after the Minister of Foreign Affairs Abbas Araqji said earlier that he would be held in the Italian capital, Rome.
After indications that the talks between the two Monday countries will move from the Middle East, Iran insisted that it would be held again in the Sultanate of Oman without clarifying the reason.
The official Iranian news agency (IRNA) quoted the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Ismail Baqi, early Tuesday, saying that the second round of negotiations will be held in the Omanaise capital, Muscat, on Saturday.
However, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqji said yesterday a second round of discussions in his country with the United States would soon be in the Italian capital, Rome under the auspices of Oman’s sultanate, according to a statement from the Fouad Iraqi of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
American Media reported yesterday that talks should take place in Rome. Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani, also said that talks will be held there.
“We received a request from the parties concerned, from Oman, who plays the role of the mediator, and we presented a positive response,” Tajani told journalists during a trip to Osaka in Japan.
“We are ready, as usual, with meetings that can lead to positive results, in which case on the nuclear issue,” he added.
Dutch Foreign Minister Kasper Fieldenb, speaking at a meeting in Luxembourg, said the upcoming talks will be held in Rome.
Easter coincides next Saturday, an official party in Rome, which welcomes the Vatican, the bastion of the Catholic church.
US investigation
And the US officials did not specify after the place of the second round of the negotiations. The Stephen Witkeov Stephen Witkeov’s special envoy said any diplomatic agreement with Iran will depend on the definition of details of enrichment and nuclear uranium weapons in the country.
“It will mainly be linked to the verification of the fertilization program, then to the verification of armaments.
Trump complains and threatens
For his part, President Donald Trump yesterday complained of the slowness of nuclear talks between his country and Iran,“I think they share us in these talks,” said at a meeting with the president of Salvador Naguib Abu Kila at the Oval Office.
“They cannot have a nuclear weapon, and they must move quickly, because they are very close to having it, and they will not have it. If we have to take very severe measures, we will. I will not do it in our name. I do it for the world, and they are extremists, and they cannot have a nuclear weapon.”
When a journalist asked him if it included an attack on Iranian nuclear installations, Trump stressed: “Certainly this includes.”
Grusi visit
Iranian officials are more and more warned that they can seek a nuclear weapon with their stock of uranium enriched at levels close to weapons.
Meanwhile, the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Mariano Grossi, confirmed that he would visit Iran later in the week, to discuss the means to improve his inspectors on the Tehran program.
In a publication on the platform “X” yesterday, Grusi said that “the continuation of participation and cooperation with the agency is necessary at a time when the need for diplomatic solutions is intensified”.
The news agency of the Iranian Islamic Republic (IRNA) cited Kazem Gharib Apadi, Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs, which La Grusse will arrive in Iran tomorrow evening and meet Araqji and President Masoud Bouchakian.
It should be noted that the International Atomic Energy Agency played a major role in verifying Iran’s conformity with the 2015 nuclear agreement with the world powers, and continued to work in the Islamic Republic, even with the country’s religious system which withdrew its arrival gradually after Trump retired on one side of the agreement in 2018.
