BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 12. Any agreement on
nuclear talks between Iran and the US must be ratified by the
Islamic Consultative Assembly (parliament) of Iran, said Ebrahim
Rezaei, spokesman for the country’s parliamentary National Security
Committee, Trend
reports.
Rezaei emphasized that under Iran’s strategic law, the
parliament must be informed that the opposing party has fully
lifted sanctions against Iran. This information must be examined by
both the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee and the
Energy Committee before being presented to the full parliament for
a final decision.
He added that four rounds of indirect discussions have been held
between Iran and the US regarding Iran’s nuclear program. He
highlighted that these talks have been positive, based on mutual
respect, and have not involved any threats.
“The framework of the discussions is centered around the lifting
of sanctions against Iran in exchange for building trust that
Iran’s nuclear program is not for military purposes.
Uranium enrichment in Iran’s peaceful nuclear program is a red
line for the country, alongside its defense and regional strength.
Iran is not engaging in discussions regarding its enrichment
principles,” he explained.
Three rounds of indirect negotiations between Iran and the US
regarding Iran’s nuclear program were held on April 12, 19, and 26.
These discussions, conducted indirectly with the mediation of the
Foreign Minister of the Sultanate of Oman, Sayyid Badr Al-Busaidi,
involved Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi leading the
Iranian delegation, while the US delegation was led by the US
Special Envoy to Middle East Affairs, Steve Witkoff. The first and
3rd rounds took place in Muscat, Oman, while the 2nd round was held
in Rome, Italy.
