Khamenei forms nuclear policy team, lawmaker says
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has established a special team to determine the Islamic Republic’s nuclear negotiation policies with the United States, a senior Iranian lawmaker said Sunday.
Esmaeil Kowsari, a member of parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee, said the foreign ministry’s delegation must consult with this team before each round of talks.
“They seek views and head into negotiations within a defined framework,” the former Revolutionary Guards general said.
He added that negotiators are also required to deliver a detailed report to Khamenei’s team upon returning from each round.
