The US administration informed Iran on Wednesday that it will not agree to Tehran's demands to change the venue and format of talks scheduled for Friday. According to information, two US officials stated this to the Axios publication.
The editorial board, citing Axios, reports that one of the US officials stated that Washington is ready to hold a meeting this week or next week if Iran agrees to return to the initially agreed-upon format.
According to the officials, the US side considers it important for the talks to be conducted based on previous agreements and believes that changing the format could negatively impact the process. This position has been conveyed to Tehran through official channels.
According to the information, the ongoing discussions between the parties cover issues related to regional security, the nuclear program, and sanctions. US representatives have emphasized their interest in continuing the dialogue, but only within the framework of mutually agreed-upon terms.
