According to Mehr News Agency, during the Cabinet session on Sunday, Araghchi explained to the government several key diplomatic issues, including the successful organization of Hajj Pilgrimage this year and the favorable cooperation at Saudi Arabian events.
He also provided an update on the current situation of Kazakhstan’s Foreign Minister’s visit to Iran and indirect nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington.
Araguchi emphasized that Iran’s response to the US proposal is approaching and will soon be provided reflecting the country’s national interests and strategic considerations.
The US and Iran have been holding five rounds of nuclear talks starting April 12th, and are expected to meet again for negotiations aimed at reaching a new agreement. The two countries are at odds at the level of uranium enrichment.
Last week, Iran’s head of the negotiation team, Abbas Aragichi, foreign minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, said in the X post that Oman Foreign Minister Badr Al-Basaidi had presented elements of the US proposal on a nuclear deal to Iran during his brief visit to Tearan. He also said, “Iran will respond appropriately based on principles, national interests and the rights of Iranian people to suggestions.”
On Monday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaril Baghihai stressed that considering national interests would be the basis for Tehran’s response to the US proposal.
