Tehran, February 26 (Xinhua) — If the main topic of indirect talks between Iran and the United States is Tehran's renunciation of its nuclear weapons program, an agreement could be reached immediately, Ali Shamkhani, senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said on Thursday.
A. Shamkhani, who is the Secretary of the Iranian Defense Council, made this statement on the social network X, commenting on the new round of indirect talks on the Iranian nuclear program between Tehran and Washington, taking place in Geneva, Switzerland.
"If the main issue in the negotiations is preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, then this is consistent with the Iranian leader's religious edict and the country's defense doctrine, and an immediate agreement is achievable," wrote A. Shamkhani.
He added that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who is leading the Iranian delegation at the talks, has sufficient support and authority to conclude such an agreement.
Iranian and US delegations began a third round of proximity talks at the Omani embassy in Geneva on Thursday morning, amid heightened tensions between the two sides and a buildup of US military presence in West Asia.
The first and second rounds of talks took place earlier this month in the Omani capital Muscat and Geneva, respectively. –0–
