Svmuu News: According to Iranian media reports on the 22nd, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Baghaei said that Iran and the United States reached an agreement after 18 hours of negotiations, and the text of the agreement will be released by the two mediators, Qatar and Pakistan. On the 22nd, Baghaei stated that the Iran-U.S. talks focused on laying the groundwork for negotiations on a final agreement. All parties agreed that the respective technical working groups would continue to address issues necessary for the effective implementation of the Iran-U.S. Memorandum of Understanding. “The work of the negotiating teams has concluded for now,” Baghaei said, adding that Iran and the U.S. had discussed issues such as the issuance of licenses for Iranian oil sales and the unfreezing of Iranian assets, and had made good progress. “In a sense, it has been a long day for us,” Baghaei said. “The talks began on Sunday morning. During the four-party talks, the United States issued threatening statements, leading Iran to announce that it was unwilling to continue the four-party talks under such circumstances.” He also noted that Qatar and Pakistan are committed to moving the negotiations forward, but Iran will not continue negotiations in the format of four-party talks.
