Nuclear talks between us and Iran begin in Amman
The talks between the United States and Iran began on the Iranian nuclear program in Muscat, the capital of Amman.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchchi told Iranian government television in his country a “fair agreement”.
US President Donald Trump removed the United States from a former nuclear agreement between Iran and the global authorities in 2018, and he has long said that he would make a “better” deal. So far, Iran has refused to re -negotiate the agreement.
New talks are seen as an important first step to determine whether a deal can be held, as on Saturday meetings is expected to focus on establishing a framework for negotiations.
It is the highest level of conversations in Trump’s first state in the office, but it is not clear whether the two sides will sit in the same room.
Araghchi has repeatedly emphasized that indirect conversations are the best at this stage.
President Trump Steve Witkeov, who leads the American delegation, has not spoken only about a face -to -face meeting. But the most important issue is the type of the deal that each side accepts. President Trump only said that Iran could not have a nuclear weapon.
Iran hopes to be a deal to reduce, but not to dismantle its nuclear program in exchange for the reduction of sanctions.
“Our intention is to reach a fair and honorable agreement of an equal position, and if the other side also comes from the same situation, then it is better that there is an opportunity to understand the first will lead to the path of negotiations.”
He added that the team that came with it consists of experts “on the knowledge of this particular field and who have a history of negotiating this issue.”
Last month, US President Donald Trump sent a message to Iran’s supreme leader through the United Arab Emirates, saying he wanted an agreement to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and avoiding possible military strikes by the United States and Israel.
Trump revealed the upcoming talks during a visit to the White House on Monday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said on Tuesday that both leaders agreed on “Iran will not have nuclear weapons.”
Trump has warned that the United States would use military force if there is no agreement, and Iran said repeatedly that it would not negotiate under pressure.
The US president told the Casablanca office on Monday that the weekend meeting in Amman will be “very big”, also warning that “it will be a very bad day for Iran” if the talks do not succeed.
Iran insists on its nuclear activities completely peaceful and will never seek to develop or obtain nuclear weapons.
However, since Trump withdrew from the 2015 agreement – which ends later this year – Iran has increasingly violated the restrictions imposed by the current nuclear deal, in response to the US sanctions that restore it seven years ago, and stored enough high -level uranium to make several exiles.
