In an interview, the lawmaker emphasized that “in this round of talks, there is no discussion whatsoever about halting or abandoning uranium enrichment,” adding that Iran’s nuclear reserves will not be transferred out of the country.
Referring to previous negotiations, Rezaei said these issues had already been accepted by the American side in earlier discussions.
No Link to Missile or Regional Issues
Rezaei stressed that the Geneva talks are strictly focused on the nuclear file and bear no relation to Iran’s missile program or regional matters. He further stated that Tehran considers the Israeli regime to be the principal source of instability in the region.
According to him, any dialogue regarding what he described as the regime’s threats should take place outside the framework of the current negotiations and in coordination with regional countries, with the aim of ensuring development, stability, and shared interests.
Limited Optimism Despite Prepared Proposal
The parliamentarian also pointed to Iran’s readiness to address nuclear-related concerns during Tuesday’s meeting, noting that the Iranian negotiating team has prepared a proposal package to prevent delays.
However, he expressed limited optimism about the outcome, citing what he described as the United States’ track record in previous engagements.
Talks Resume in Geneva
The Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, leading a specialized diplomatic delegation, has arrived in Geneva to participate in the second round of nuclear negotiations and conduct political consultations. The first round of talks was previously held on February 6 in Oman.
Following that initial meeting, Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, described the atmosphere of the discussions as “constructive.”
