No nuclear talks without implementation of interim deal, Iran's Araghchi says
Araghchi says nuclear talks will stop unless the interim agreement is put into effect, while the United States would have 60 days to meet its obligations.
- Earlier this week, President Donald Trump claimed a peace deal between the United States and Iran was nearing finalization. Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi confirmed the agreement is "closer than ever."
- Once signed, the US would have a 60-day window to "fulfil its duties," Araghchi explained. He warned that "breaking promises is in the nature of US statesmen," necessitating safeguards against non-compliance.
- Questions linger regarding Iran's nuclear program, which remains postponed until the final agreement stage. Araghchi affirmed that Iran will secure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz while maintaining the waterway's sovereignty.
- Iran's Supreme National Security Council is currently reviewing the proposed text, with a collective decision expected soon. If approved, the agreement could be signed remotely, though implementation remains the ultimate test of US commitment.
- Deep mistrust continues to shape bilateral relations, as Araghchi stated Iran does not rely on foreign coalitions for security. Instead, the nation relies on "God, our people, and our own armed forces" to ensure its defense.
