The spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmail Baghaei, affirmed that his country is monitoring continuous Israeli attempts to play a destructive role aimed at undermining existing diplomatic paths. Baghaei explained in press statements that Tehran is moving forward with arrangements for discussions with the United States, while maintaining full vigilance regarding Israeli movements in the region.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry categorically denied Western media reports about reaching an interim agreement with the US administration, describing those reports as baseless. The ministry's spokesperson stressed that any round of discussions must be based on a common understanding and serious work to ensure positive and optimistic outcomes.
As part of logistical and political preparations, diplomatic sources revealed that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a series of intensive contacts with the foreign ministers of Iraq and Oman. These moves aim to coordinate arrangements for the upcoming round of negotiations, given Oman's continued active role as a key mediator between Tehran and Washington.
A new round of negotiations concerning the nuclear file is scheduled to begin next Thursday in Geneva, Switzerland. This step comes within the context of accelerated Iranian efforts to return to direct and indirect dialogue, with the aim of addressing outstanding issues and avoiding further escalation in the region.
Minister Abbas Araghchi is currently working on drafting a comprehensive and coherent proposal that includes Iran's vision for a solution, in preparation for its presentation during the Geneva meetings. This draft is expected to be delivered to the American side through Omani mediation, in an attempt to bridge viewpoints and accelerate the pace of technical and legal understandings.
Informed sources indicated that intensive Iranian diplomatic efforts are primarily aimed at avoiding any potential military confrontation with the United States. Tehran seeks to utilize open communication channels with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its Director-General Rafael Grossi to strengthen its negotiating position and prove the peaceful nature of its program.
In statements to international media, Araghchi expressed his country's realism regarding the negotiation process, noting that it is not possible to absolutely guarantee the prevention of any military action by the US administration under Donald Trump. Nevertheless, the Iranian minister considered the current military buildup unjustified, especially since the issue can be resolved through the legal frameworks of the IAEA.
Tehran proposed the possibility of reaching a comprehensive and strict monitoring mechanism for its nuclear program in close cooperation with the IAEA. The Iranian side believes that this mechanism can dispel international concerns if Washington has the political will to deal with the issue as a technical matter, away from politicization.
Araghchi revealed that his country received several proposals after the second round of Geneva, explaining that the new draft will take into account some American proposals related to the economic aspect. These proposals include the possibility of opening the door for investments in vital sectors such as oil and gas, in addition to development projects in selected Iranian cities.
Despite openness to economic proposals, sources close to the Foreign Ministry affirmed that Tehran does not intend to make sovereign concessions or grant 100% full privileges. Iran's position remains contingent on the seriousness of the other party in building a balanced strategic partnership that ensures the lifting of sanctions and the establishment of Iran's peaceful nuclear rights.
Israel plays a destructive role in every diplomatic path, and Tehran is monitoring discussions with Washington without overlooking Israeli movements.
