The first round of talks was held with a respectful and serious approach that included the views of all parties.
According to the reports, some of the issues raised in the meeting could be made clearer to pave the way for diplomacy.
In particular, the E3 countries and European Union, which have been the architects of the nuclear talks with Iran, still hope to play a historic role and gain another opportunity to advance diplomacy.
What was emphasized was that only by stopping the aggression can the path of diplomacy be opened based on an honest process.
The Iranian delegation emphasized that Tehran has not abandoned the negotiating table and that these negotiations are not the end of the talks. Iran’s previous five rounds of negotiations with the E3 demonstrate Iran’s determination to maintain the channel of dialogue.
The second round of negotiations will be scheduled later.
Speaking to reporters after the conclusion of talks, Iran’s top diplomat asserted that as long as Israel continues its aggression against Iran, Tehran will not negotiate with any party.
The Israeli regime, he said, must stop its acts of aggression and crimes against the people of Iran, adding that until that doesn’t happen, there will be no negotiations with any party.
“Iran will continue to exercise its legitimate right to self-defense,” he remarked, adding that Iran is “deeply concerned” about the lack of condemnation of Israel’s horrific aggression.
Araghchi reiterated that the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program is peaceful and remains under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
He hastened to add that Iran supports continued dialogue with the three European countries and the European Union, and is ready for another round of talks in the near future.
Earlier in the day, Araghchi delivered a speech at the United Nations Human Rights Council, said Iran is determined to defend its territorial integrity, national sovereignty, and security with all its might.
“The world, every country, every mechanism and institution of the United Nations, should be concerned and now must act to stop the aggressor, end impunity, and hold criminals accountable for their endless crimes and atrocities in our region,” he stressed.
“This request comes from someone who has dedicated their entire life to dialogue and diplomacy, but is also a veteran of the imposed war of Saddam’s regime and knows how to defend our beloved homeland.”
