Progress on Issues with the US, But No Imminent Deal

Esmail Baghaei, spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, stated in a press conference in Tehran on May 25 that a 'large portion' of issues with the United States have been resolved. However, he emphasized that this progress does not mean an agreement is on the verge of being signed, rejecting claims of an imminent deal. Baghaei also noted that there are no guarantees the US would honor any potential agreement.

Stance on Nuclear Issue and Political Maneuvering

Baghaei clarified that at this stage, Iran is not discussing the details of the nuclear issue. He characterized threats, pressure, portrayals, and the publication of caricatures as merely 'part of political maneuvering on the other side of the world.' This remark is seen as a critique of Western pressures related to nuclear negotiations.
