Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei rejected that there is a deadlock in talks with the US, saying fluctuations are normal in negotiations between parties.
“The fact that both Iran and the US want the talks to continue means the negotiation process is still ongoing,” Baghaei said on Wednesday.
He added that Oman is coordinating with both sides to set the time and place for a fifth round.
Donald Trump’s visit to regional states will directly affect Tehran’s negotiations with Washington, said Abolfazl Zohrevand, a member of Iran’s parliamentary national security committee.
“If Trump manages to damage Iran’s ties with the Persian Gulf, it will benefit him,” Zohrevand added.
“Otherwise, he will be forced to moderate his expectations in dealing with the Islamic Republic’s negotiating team.”
An outspoken Iranian politician described the latest round of nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington as a success, saying the American side retreated from its earlier position.
“They backed down from their stance,” Ali Motahari said. “What they express at the negotiating table is different from what they say in interviews and the media. If enrichment in Iran is dismantled, they will be able to block our access to nuclear fuel whenever they want.”
