Next round of US-Iran peace talksAugust 15

Meeting of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the media, Monday, August 19, 2021, answer to question 11: The decision-making process is clear. Every negotiation conducted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is under the supervision of the Supreme National Security Council, and its process and procedure are fully reported. This process is followed based on the instructions issued by the higher authorities. In this case, the same procedure will be followed. Regarding whether we are currently [holding negotiations] with the United States, I have already mentioned it; I think Dr. Araqchi also mentioned the same issue yesterday. We are not holding negotiations with the United States. It is natural that the exchange of messages will take place through mediators and on the issues of the day, but what the next step will be depends on the circumstances. Currently, we are focused on negotiations with Oman to determine the shipping route. @MFAIran [in reply to: Meeting of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the media, Monday, August 19, 1405, Question 11: Regarding the memorandum of understanding with Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz, it is said that there are reports that this issue is going to be decided in our Supreme National Security Council and this memorandum of understanding will be signed. Is this true? Also, regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, the Islamabad memorandum of understanding should be revived. Are there consultations and negotiations through mediators with the United States to revive this memorandum of understanding or not? @MFAIran]

Sources following the negotiations told LBCI that a preliminary date for a new round of talks is set for September 1st, and that the American side has pledged to follow up on the issues of prisoners and borders with both sides during the interim period.

CNN reported that Washington and Tehran have a “50-50” chance of reaching an agreement by Friday, citing a senior Gulf official. The official said the Iranian delegation to the talks does not include a representative of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the details of the interim agreement must be approved by the body.

US Treasury Secretary: Iran talks could reach an agreement on the 4th or 5th.

Iran: Press TV, citing a source, reports that the ongoing talks are bilateral between Iran and Oman and have no connection to the United States.

CBS News reported, citing US officials, that despite US President Donald Trump's statement last night that talks with the Islamic Republic were set to begin on Monday afternoon, no "new" or different negotiations are planned. According to the report, only the ongoing talks between Steve Whitaker, Trump's special envoy for the Middle East, Jared Kushner and the US negotiating team with representatives of the Islamic Republic are continuing through mediators. Esmail Baghaei, spokesman for the Islamic Republic's Foreign Ministry, said in a press conference on Monday that Tehran has no plans to hold direct talks with Washington; a comment that angered Trump, who called the Islamic Republic's leadership "dishonorable" in a post on Truth Social.

The spokesman for the Islamic Republic's Foreign Ministry says that there are currently no negotiations between Iran and the United States. In his weekly meeting with reporters on Monday, August 12, Esmail Baghaei added that what is currently underway are bilateral negotiations between the two coastal states of Iran and Oman. He says that "the presence of others in these negotiations can be constructive or destructive, but the issue is between Iran and Oman." His comments come as US President Donald Trump announced that negotiations with Iran will begin on Monday afternoon, August 12. However, he did not explain to reporters on Sunday, when returning to Washington from a weekend vacation in New Jersey, where the talks will be held or who will participate in them. @VahidHeadline The spokesman for the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Majlis says that "no discussion" of negotiations with the United States is currently on the agenda. Hassan Qashqawi in The interview, published by the Student News Agency, added that the Iranian government is not negotiating with Washington, especially on the nuclear issue. He added without giving details: "Even in other possible paths, the nuclear issue has not been discussed, and the future of this issue is completely clear in the relevant texts." The parliamentarian stated that the Islamic Republic's current priority is "the lifting of primary and secondary sanctions in Congress and the return of Iran's frozen assets." @VahidHeadline @VahidOnline

Aug 3 (Reuters) - Iran said on Monday there were no talks under way with the United States and no plans for any meetings, contradicting U.S. President Donald Trump who had ‌cited talks he said would take place that afternoon as justification for calling off attacks.

Meeting of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the media, Monday, August 12, 1405, answer to question 18: We did not violate the memorandum of understanding; it was the United States that violated the memorandum of understanding. In response to the question of the IRIB reporter, I tried to provide some explanation. In our statement, we also explained in detail what happened on July 16 and 17; that the United States, in a highly disproportionate reaction to a claim that has not yet been proven and it is not really clear what the incident was, suddenly announced that it would not implement any of its obligations. The task is quite clear. We have not been the pioneers in violating any understanding, and therefore, to use a football expression, the ball has long been in America's court. @MFAIran [in reply to: Meeting of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the media, Monday, August 12, 1405, Question 18: Mr. President last night described the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding as the center of gravity of the country's foreign relations in the future and said that efforts should be made to make the enemy return to its commitments in the Memorandum. From your answers to the first two or three questions, I understood that there was no exchange of messages or talk about returning to the Memorandum from the United States. Please explain what the status of the exchange of messages is? Have any conditions been set for the United States to re-implement the Memorandum or not? @MFAIran]

Iran is not negotiating with the United States; issues of ensuring the safety of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz are being discussed with Oman. This was stated by the representative of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ismail Baghaei, whose words are quoted by the Tasnim news agency. “To avoid ambiguity, it is necessary to clarify with whom the negotiations are being conducted. At the moment, we are not negotiating with the United States. Negotiations are being conducted with Oman,” he said. According to him, although the negotiations are bilateral, other states can also contribute to stabilizing the situation.

Meeting of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the media, Monday, August 12, 2021, answer to the first question: In order to avoid ambiguity, it might be better to pose the question as follows: What is our current negotiation about and with which party? We are not negotiating with the United States right now. The negotiation is with Oman, focused on reaching an understanding on a route that will ensure safe shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Our effort is to determine a route at the earliest opportunity, in consultation with Oman and in cooperation with Oman; a route that will usually be temporary and based on which we can ensure the safety of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Therefore, these negotiations are bilateral negotiations between the two coastal states. Others can certainly appear constructive or destructive in this route, in this process; but the issue is related to Iran and Oman. What happens in the next stage must be decided. Last night, I also announced that an understanding on the safe shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz is a necessary condition for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, but it is not a sufficient condition. The Strait of Hormuz has not been closed due to disagreements between Iran and Oman. The Strait of Hormuz has been in trouble since March 29th of last year due to the military aggression of the United States and the Zionist regime, and as long as the evil of the United States continues, as long as the naval blockade of Iran continues, as long as the military aggression of the United States against Iran and its interests continues, and as long as all the violations that the United States has violated during this period continue, there will be no specific event or change in the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Therefore, the focus of the negotiations with Oman will be on the Strait of Hormuz. Regarding issues related to Iran and the US, we will have to see in the next stages what direction the situation will take. @MFAIran [in reply to: Meeting of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the media, Monday, 12 Mordad 1405, First question: Recently, the Foreign Minister announced that they are finalizing the memorandum of understanding with Oman (on the issue of the Strait of Hormuz). Given that the United States has violated several clauses of the memorandum of understanding, have the consultations that are being held through mediators led to the restoration of all clauses of the memorandum of understanding and the return of the United States to fulfilling its obligations? Also, what are Iran's conditions for returning to this memorandum of understanding? @MFAIran]
