Iran’s foreign ministry confirmed that the fourth round of talks with the United States scheduled for Saturday in Rome has been postponed, adding that the delay came at the request of Oman.
“The postponement of the talks was proposed by Oman’s foreign minister, and the new date will be announced later,” spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said in a statement.
“Iran’s delegation had entered the talks in good faith from the outset, with clear frameworks based on the country’s core positions and international law regarding the peaceful use of nuclear energy and the lifting of unlawful sanctions,” he said.
Baghaei criticized what he called "the contradictory approach of American decision-makers and their lack of goodwill and seriousness in advancing the path of diplomacy."
"The responsibility for the consequences and destructive effects of the contradictory behavior and provocative statements of American officials regarding Iran will lie with the American side," he added.
Baghaei said Iran remains firmly committed to pursuing result-oriented talks aimed at achieving a fair, reasonable, and lasting agreement.
