Iran has said that no negotiations with the United States are scheduled at any level in the coming days, stressing that its priority remains the implementation of their memorandum of understanding on ending the war. Foreign Ministry and negotiating team spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told reporters that Tehran is currently focused on ensuring the implementation of the memorandum\u2019s provisions and is \u201cseriously pursuing\u201d its demands in that regard, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.<\/p>\n
Implementation of the memorandum<\/p>\n
Baqaei said the US had already issued the necessary licenses under Article 10 of the memorandum related to oil sales and that Iran was following the implementation process. On Article 11 concerning the release of Iran\u2019s frozen assets, he said the implementation process was also underway and that an Iranian expert delegation would travel to Doha later this week to follow up on the matter. He added that Iran had not yet entered the stage of negotiations for a final agreement, saying Article 13 of the memorandum stipulates that talks on a comprehensive deal \u201ccan only begin\u201d after the implementation of Articles 1, 4, 5, 10 and 11 and their continued enforcement.<\/p>\n
Denial of meeting reports<\/p>\n
Baqaei also denied reports about a possible meeting with senior US representatives in Doha during the Iranian delegation\u2019s visit, saying any US trip to Qatar would have no connection to Iran\u2019s technical mission there. \u201cThere will be no negotiation meeting with the American side at any level in the coming days,\u201d he said. The 14-point Islamabad memorandum of understanding between Iran and the US entered into force on June 18 after being electronically signed by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump following weeks of regional tensions triggered by US and Israeli strikes on Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iran has said that no negotiations with the United States are scheduled at any level in the coming…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":183604,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4],"tags":[2728,1965,34,10383,69,153],"class_list":["post-183603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tehran","tag-assets","tag-doha","tag-iran","tag-talks","tag-tehran","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116835601909769300","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183603"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183603\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
