The USA and Iran They completed the fourth cycle of negotiations for Mukat yesterday at Mukat nuclear power program her Islamic Republicwithout announcing major progress, however, expressing moderate optimism.

Against the backdrop of Washington’s opposition to the enrichment of uranium by Iranian scientists, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Aragzi and the Special Envoy of the US Presidency for the Middle East Steve Whitkov They had a new series of talks through the Sultanate of Oman, which is mediated.

The fourth round of talks was recorded before the tour of the US president in the Middle East within the week. He is expected in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates from 13th to May 16th.

“The negotiations were much more serious and no rotation than in the three previous circles” and “move on,” summed Mr Arartsi, who is expected today in the UAE.

He stressed that his country will continue to enrich heaven and that there is no “room for compromise” in this respect. However, he emphasized that Tehran “may be open to limiting the level of enrichment to help build confidence”.

On the part of the US official, who spoke on the condition that he not be named, he said the US is “encouraged by the results of the talks” and is looking forward to “eagerly at the next meeting”.

Indirect negotiations, which began on April 12, aim to close a new agreement to prevent any possibility that Iran will obtain a nuclear arsenal – which Tehran always refuses to seek – in return for the removal of part of the sanctions.

Iran enriches the current celestial period at 60%, well above the 3.67% threshold under the international agreement on its nuclear program signed in 2015, however well below the 90% level required for the construction of nuclear weapons. Its stocks on flexible material are concerned with Western governments and Israel.

Western forces, first in the US, and Israel – the Jewish state, a sworn enemy of Iran, is considered by experts the only power with nuclear weapons in the Middle East – have for years been intended that the Islamic Republic is intended to acquire a nuclear arsenal. Tehran denies the category and defends the country’s sovereign right to have a nuclear program for political purposes, in particular for energy production.

“Iran will not deny its sovereign rights to the country’s nuclear power program,” Iranian President Massoud Pezkian said yesterday after the talks in Oman. The requirement “to dismantle all Iranian nuclear facilities is unacceptable to us,” he insisted.

He apparently responded to statements made on the Breitbart News news website by Mr. Whitkov. Donald Trump’s special envoy stressed in these statements that Washington is opposed to any enrichment. “This means the dismantling, the prohibition of militarization, that (Iranian enrichment facilities) Natanz, Fordo and Isfahan should be dismantled,” he said.

In addition, in view of yesterday’s talks, he said that “if they are not productive (…) they will not continue, we will take another way.”

However, yesterday’s negotiations there was an exchange of “useful and original ideas that reflect the will (of the sides) to reach an honest agreement,” Oman assured.

The Foreign Ministry in Tehran referred to “difficult but useful” talks to “find reasonable and realistic ways to overcome divergences”.

The Iranian side had announced that it would call for sanctions yesterday and the recognition of its right to continue to have a nuclear energy program for peaceful purposes.

Following his return to the White House in January, Mr Trump again implemented the so -called “maximum pressure” policy in Iran, specifically targeting the oil sector, and demanded from the Islamic Republic to negotiate, threatening to order bombings.

During Donald Trump’s first term, the US had unilaterally withdrew from the 2015 international agreement between Iran and the Great Powers – officially the common integrated action plan (KOSD) – which imposed restrictions on the Iranian Nuclear Energy Program. The agreement has since become an empty shell.

The agreement included a clause to restore international sanctions to force in the event of non -compliance with Iran’s commitments. Typically expires in October.

Iran and US talks, although not diplomatic since 1980, are the first of this level after Washington’s unilateral departure from the deal.

Israel reiterated yesterday that Iran should not maintain the ability to obtain nuclear weapons. Iran is “the most dangerous regime in the world” and “should not be allowed to acquire the most dangerous weapons in the world,” Israeli Foreign Minister Saar said.
