US urges Iran to continue ‘direct talks’ on nuclear program

This Saturday, as the deadline for negotiations with Iran expired, Pezeshkian stated a preference for the reinstatement of UN sanctions over giving in to the US demands, which focus on the delivery of Iranian uranium, after calling the US demands ‘unreasonable’. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the importance of ‘direct talks’ between the US and Iran, urging Tehran to engage in ‘good faith dialogues’. E3 countries joined in, calling on Tehran to ‘refrain from any action’ following the imposition of sanctions. While the negotiations deadline has passed, the pressure remains high on Iran to come to the table and discuss its nuclear program.
