Iran

TEHRAN - Spokesperon for Iran's Foreign Minister Esmaeil Baghaei has alerted that any United States threats, if carried out, will be met a fast, definitive, and comprehensive response from Iran.Baghaei made the remarks throughout a weekly press conference on Monday, addressing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus recent see to the United States and accompanying dangers versus Iran.Baghaei likewise rejected speculation that possible talks could consist of non-nuclear problems.
Negotiations are solely concentrated on the nuclear file.
Any claims to the contrary are unreliable, he emphasized.Iran condemns Israeli actions in Gaza, cites United States complicityTurning to the scenario in Gaza, Baghaei condemned the disastrous criminal offenses dedicated by Israel, accusing Tel Aviv of repeated offenses of international law and human rights.
Over the previous 2 years, we have actually experienced flagrant neglect for the UN Charter and worldwide humanitarian principles.
The attacks on help workersincluding the killing of fifteen humanitarian personnelare simply one example, he stated.He included that these actions, consisting of operations in Rafah and the West Bank, are undoubtedly carried out with the support of the United States, caution of the normalization of evil in the region.Iran, IAEA in contact following current developmentsResponding to concerns about a phone call in between Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, Baghaei confirmed that Tehran had revealed its issues concerning recent developments.
We conveyed our expectations to Mr.
Grossi and reminded the Agency of its duties to all member states, he said.He confirmed a contract in concept for Grossi to check out Iran, adding that details and timing are under discussion.
This becomes part of our ongoing technical engagement with the IAEA to resolve remaining safeguards issues, Baghaei kept in mind, contacting the Agency to respond to dangers versus Iran's tranquil nuclear facilities in accordance with global law.Oman stays a key mediator in possible indirect talks with United States Addressing speculation about indirect talks with the United States, Baghaei repeated that Oman has actually historically played a useful function.
This is not a brand-new advancement.
Oman and the EUs diplomacy chief have actually helped with indirect talks in the past.
Ought to the procedure resume, Oman will be among the crucial conciliators, he explained.No United States talks Yet; Tehran waiting for Washingtons responseBaghaei rejected reports of resumed talks with the United States , stating: That claim is baseless.
Iran has reacted to a letter from the United States and is now awaiting their decision.
Our proposition for indirect talks is both responsible and positive.
Baghaei stressed that just the Foreign Ministry is licensed to lead any negotiation procedure and dismissed all other speculation.Afghan consulate in Birjand not on the agendaAsked about reports of a prepared Afghan consulate in Birjand, Baghaei responded: We have actually received no formal request, and the Foreign Ministry is ruling out such a proposal.
Establishing diplomatic objectives involves official treatments, and this matter is not under review.Nuclear weapons fatwa still governs Iran's policyReaffirming Iran's longstanding position on nuclear weapons, Baghaei cited the Leaders fatwa (spiritual order) restricting their development.
Our tranquil nuclear strategy stays the same and is based on spiritual and legal structures, he said.IranTurkey relations strong in spite of local disagreementsOn ties with Ankara, Baghaei stressed that Iran and Turkey delight in enduring relations as surrounding Muslim countries.
Regional disputes need to not overshadow our cooperation.
Since the outset of the Syria conflict, we have alerted that Israel stands to get from instability in Islamic nations, he stated, condemning current Israeli attacks on Syrian infrastructure.Trumps letter was a mix of hazards and offersCommenting on a letter apparently sent by former United States President Donald Trump, Baghaei stated it contained both risks and proposals.Our response was balanced and did not shut the door to diplomacy, he said.
Iran's response was responsible and comprehensive in its technique to regional security.Germany must reevaluate hostile policy approachBaghaei criticized current German policies towards Iran and revealed hope that the brand-new federal government in Berlin would modify its stance.At one time, confrontational techniques harmed our bilateral ties and negatively impacted Iranian nationals.
We prompt a reassessment, he said.Snapback threat would harm EU credibilityResponding to recent remarks by the French Foreign Minister about the possible reactivation of the JCPOAs snapback system, Baghaei stated: Europe had an uncommon opportunity to demonstrate its diplomatic trustworthiness.
The EUs failure to compensate for the United States withdrawal from the JCPOA just undermines its standing.Iran declares rights of Afghan migrants, requires orderly migrationBaghaei highlighted ongoing discussions with Kabul, consisting of migration, water, and border security issues.
Afghans have been our visitors for over 50 years.
Iran believes migration must be orderlythis is a universal concept acknowledged by all governments, he said.United States expense on Iraq offensive and hypocriticalCommenting on a United States congressional expense entitled Freeing Iraq from Iran, Baghaei called the proposition insulting, specifically originating from a nation that previously inhabited Iraq.
The goal is clearly to drive a wedge in between Muslim neighbors, he said.Presidents check out to Azerbaijan under preparationBaghaei verified that preparations are underway for President Pezeshkians upcoming journey to Azerbaijan, though no specific date was announced.Iran rejects claims of military existence in YemenBaghaei dismissed reports that Iranian workers were eliminated in Yemen as unwarranted fabrications aimed at discrediting the Yemeni resistance.There is no confirmation of such claims.
Peace in Palestine is the crucial to ending local conflict, he stated.Allegations about plot against Trump too ridiculous to addressHe likewise brushed off reports about a supposed Iranian plot to assassinate Donald Trump, calling the story so exaggerated its not worth discussing.Baghaei repeated that Iran continues to seek legal justice for the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani.Detention of Iranian nationwide in France violates Vienna ConventionFinally, Baghaei slammed France for the continued detention of Mahdieh Esfandiari, an Iranian nationwide held for a number of weeks without description or consular access.This is a clear violation of Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.
We are pursuing the matter with seriousness, he said, expressing hope that French authorities will adhere to worldwide legal standards.
