Iran will quit talks if US exits agreed framework, source tells Al Mayadeen

A member of Iran’s negotiating team told Lebanon’s Hezbollah-aligned Al Mayadeen network that Tehran will halt negotiations if the United States strays from agreed frameworks.

“If we see the other side deviating from the agreed frameworks, we will not continue the talks,” the official said.

Al Mayadeen described the fourth round of negotiations between Tehran and Washington as “decisive” and more critical than previous rounds, identifying uranium enrichment as the main obstacle.

If discussions proceed “within the framework aimed at assuring the international community of the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program,” the source said, a deal lifting sanctions and benefiting both sides remains possible.
