TEHRAN: The Iranian Foreign Minister will visit Moscow to discuss the country’s nuclear program this weekend before a new era of indirect talks with the United States.
On Saturday, Abbas Aragchi spoke with US Middle East envoy Steve Watkov in Oman-which has been high-level talks since the end of the 2015 nuclear deal.
US President Donald Trump, who withdrew from the deal, has brought Iran back to light after returning to office in January.
In March, he sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling for nuclear talks, and if Tehran refused, he called for a possible military action.
Western countries, including the United States, have long been suspected of pursuing nuclear weapons.
Russia, which is a close ally of Iran and the party of the 2015 deal, and China has engaged in Tehran during its nuclear program in recent weeks.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Bakai said, “Dr. Eragachi will travel to Moscow at the weekend.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova said Eraghchi would meet her Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov and other officials.
Both Iran and the United States have termed Saturday’s debates “constructive”.
Moscow welcomed Iran -US talks because it called for a diplomatic solution and warned that the military confrontation would be a “global catastrophe”.
Another round between Iran and the United States is to be linked to Oman on Saturday, a foreign ministry spokesman told the Foreign Ministry spokesman. Earlier, Rome was presented as a potential location.
‘Red lines’
The next set of talks will continue indirectly with Omani mediation, adding that direct dialogue is “not effective” and “not useful,” said Bauqi. The Foreign Minister of Oman closed the last talks between the two delegations.
Divine had earlier said that the only center of the next dialogue would be “eliminating nuclear issues and sanctions, and that Iran would not talk to the US party on any other issue”.
At the end of Sunday, the IRNA reported that Tehran’s regional influence and its missile capabilities were involved in its “red lines” in the negotiations.
Washington restored restrictions on Tehran after three years withdrawn from the 2015 deal.
After Trump’s withdrawal, Iran continued to follow the deal for a year, but later began to return to compliance.
Iran has permanently denied that it is looking for nuclear weapons.
“I will solve this problem” and “This is almost an easy problem,” Trump said on Monday.
However, it is unclear whether their remarks point to a wider issue of nuclear talks or the Islamic Republic.
Bauai reiterated that Iran would host UN Nuclear Watch Dog Chief Rafael Grosy in the coming days, but said the details of his journey were still “to decide”.
In a post on X, Grossi confirmed that he was “going to Tehran this weekend”.
“The ongoing engagement and cooperation with the agency is essential at a time when diplomatic solutions are urgent,” he said.
Later, the IRNA reported that the Grosy would arrive on Wednesday and would meet Iran’s nuclear energy agency chief Aragchi and Mohammad Esalmi.
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency last visited Iran in November when he spoke to top officials, including President Masood Pajishkian.
In its latest quarter report in February, the IAEA said that Iran’s estimate is 274.8kg (605 pounds), which is enriched up to 60 %, which is exceeding 3.67 % of the 2015 agreement and is more than 90 % required for weapons grade content.
