Shafaq News/ On Friday, Iran accused the United States of underminingdiplomacy and casting doubt on its intentions after the postponement of a newround of indirect nuclear talks that had been scheduled for Saturday in Rome.
In a statement carried by Iranian media, the Foreign Ministry condemnedthe continuation of US sanctions, warning they “raise serious questions aboutthe sincerity and seriousness of the United States in negotiations.”
The fourth round of talks, initially set for May 3, was delayed due towhat Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi described as “logistical reasons,”with no new set date. Oman has previously hosted indirect negotiations betweenWashington and Tehran.
Tehran said it had entered past negotiations with the US “in goodfaith,” citing a letter sent by President Donald Trump to Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei expressing interest in resolving the nuclear standoffdiplomatically.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran … will never tolerate, under anycircumstances, approaches based on threats and pressure,” the statement said,calling such measures a violation of the UN Charter and international law.
Iran also accused Washington of undermining trust by targeting its tradeand economic partners. “Trying previous failed methods will only lead to therepetition of the same costly failures,” the ministry added, asserting thatIran’s positions are “logical and legitimate” under international norms.
The comments followed a message from Trump on the Truth Social platform,“All purchases of Iranian oil, or petrochemical products, must stop, NOW! Anycountry or person who buys ANY AMOUNT of oil or petrochemicals from Iran willbe subject to, immediately, secondary sanctions.”
The US reimposed sanctions on Iran in 2018 after withdrawing from the2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action(JCPOA). Tehran has since expanded its uranium enrichment efforts, whilemaintaining that its nuclear program is strictly for civilian purposes.
