“Blinken” and “Lapid” talked about Iran – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news
According to the Mehr news agency, quoting Sputnik, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Zionist counterpart Yair Lapid discussed issues related to Iran as well as Palestine.
Announcing the news, State Department spokesman Ned Price claimed that the two sides had discussed the Iranian threat and that Blinken had emphasized the Washington administration’s strong support for Israeli security. They also discussed the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
Price did not elaborate on the details of the talks between Iran and Palestine. Last Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett reiterated his rhetoric against Iran’s nuclear program, saying he did not consider himself bound by a possible Vienna agreement and defended the security of the Zionist regime independent of the United States. it works.
Yesterday, a US government official announced that progress had been made in Vienna to reduce differences, but said it would be clear in a few weeks whether we could reach an agreement.
Iran, however, says that despite significant progress in the lifting of sanctions, important and significant issues remain.
In the seventh round of talks, which was their first meeting with the representatives of the main government, the European troika of the UN Security Council came to the negotiating table practically empty-handed, without any constructive proposals, with the aim of wasting time.
In the eighth round, which will resume next week after a short break, US sabotage, which seeks to ignore Iran’s demands in two important areas of verification and providing guarantees, slowed down negotiations.
But as Iran has warned before, not reaching an agreement is not attractive to either side. For this reason, both the Troika and the United States have now acknowledged that progress has been made that could illuminate the prospects for dialogue.
However, next week will be crucial in terms of political decision-making, and the Western parties must be more careful about their steps so as not to bring the talks to a standstill with the slightest mistake.
