— 🇮🇷/🇺🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: The fourth round is being described as 'difficult,' with a reported change in the U.S. position on Iran's right to enrich uranium due to Israeli pressure

Previously, U.S. leaders did not demand an end to Iran's uranium enrichment program or the dismantling of facilities.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 U.S. Official: 'It has been agreed that talks with Iran will proceed to continue to examine the technical aspects. We are encouraged by today's outcome and look forward to our next meeting, which will be held in the near future.' – Axios

— 🇮🇷/🇺🇸 Iranian Foreign Minister, Seyyed Abbas Araqchi:

'I can say that today's indirect negotiations were more serious and specific than the previous three rounds.

We distanced ourselves from general areas and entered into the real issues. In these circumstances, negotiations always become difficult, this is normal'

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸 Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, after the 4th round of talks:

'Iran's right to domestic uranium enrichment is not subject to compromise. While the scale and level of enrichment may be limited for confidence-building, our right of enrichment is non-negotiable.

The U.S. contradictory public statements do not help the negotiations, and today in the talks we stated clearly that this approach must be corrected. If such contradictions continue, we will be forced to respond.'

@Middle_East_Spectator

At least both sides can agree that the JCPOA is shit.

If only the Americans knew we despise the 2015 deal as much as them (but for very different reasons).
