Muhammad Marandi, an adviser to the Iranian negotiating delegation, told Al Jazeera that “perhaps Qatar will host the next round of nuclear talks,” noting that “the talk of Qatar hosting the talks is linked to the fact that we are a friendly country in the region.” He pointed out that “negotiations between Tehran and Washington will be indirect, as was the case in Vienna.”

Yesterday, an Iranian official told the TV channel: “It is possible to resume negotiations on the renewal of the nuclear agreement in one of the countries of the Persian Gulf instead of Vienna,” noting that “Qatar is most fortunate and has every opportunity to resume negotiations on the revival of the nuclear agreement.”

An Iranian official said: “We seek a close and lasting agreement, and this requires recognition by Washington of our national interests,” explaining that “negotiations with European Union Foreign Minister Josep Borrell were frank, deep, detailed. and have a lot of responsibility.”

European Union Foreign Minister Josep Borrell met in Tehran with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian to try to restart talks on the Iranian nuclear dossier.
