Amid the resumed Iran nuclear talks in Vienna, the Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson issued a stark warning to the P4+1 negotiating side on stalling on real results.

“We are not in a hurry and we do not allow anyone to play with our time and energy in Vienna,” said Saeed Khatibzadeh in a Tehran briefing on Monday who said Tehran nuclear negotiators were awaiting a response on two proposals Iran had submitted to P5+1 (China, Germany, France, Russia, the United Kingdom) delegates on “lifting of sanctions and how Iran is going to stop its retaliatory measures when sanctions are removed”.

On Friday, Iran’s chief negotiator in the nuclear talks Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani said the talks were suspended for other parties to “consult with their capitals to provide a reasoned and documented response” to Iran’s proposals.

SOT, Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson (Farsi): “We are not in a hurry and we do not allow anyone to play with our time and energy in Vienna.”

SOT, Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson (Farsi): “In Vienna, we are negotiating on the basis of the drafts we have provided about the lifting of sanctions and how Iran is going to stop its retaliatory measures when sanctions are removed. It has been thoroughly explained in previous sessions that there is no such thing as a step-by-step stop or temporary plans.”

SOT, Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson (Farsi): “If an agreement is signed today and these considerations, these guarantees and these verifications are not made, according to the West themselves, none of their companies, none of the right investments will happen in this country.”

SOT, Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman (Farsi): “Instead of making such statements, which are more in the context of blaming [the other side] in order to escape its own responsibility, the United States would rather go back to the easier way. And the easier way is to implement their commitments under what they signed in 2015.”

SOT, Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson (Farsi): “We are witnessing the sale of advanced weapons to the Arabian countries of the Persian Gulf, as tens of billions of dollars are spent. This is while for our few missiles, they hold meetings and say things that are basically unacceptable. They should remember from today, for the same reason of the sale of weapons to the region they have, the Islamic Republic of Iran does not fall short of its own security and does not talk to anyone. The security of the Iranian people is the red line of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and with these destabilizing actions that we see in the region with the sale of weapons, we get seriously more determined.”

SOT, Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson (Farsi): “Naturally, we are waiting to receive the views of the other side on these two documents, the two documents that were presented based on the draft of the previous six rounds [of talks]. And if they have a real written proposal, other than these scattered media statements, they can present it to us. Wherever necessary, new documents, as well as new drafts, can be exchanged. The important thing is that this weekend, the talks will resume. The talks had practically not stopped; the talks were given a break. That is, we are still, in the words of friends who are familiar with international literature, on the same day.”

SOT, Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson (Farsi): “This weekend, God willing, the next round [of talks] will begin. The exact date and exact day will be finalized soon at the meeting between Mr. [Enrique] Mora [the EU coordinator] and Mr. [Ali] Bagheri-Kani [Iran’s chief negotiator in Vienna] on what day of the week the talks will begin.”

SOT, Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson (Farsi): “It is important that the other side, like Iran, enters with specific proposals. What we have presented is certainly negotiable and can be examined for sure. But if the other side only makes media statements and based on media statements, imagines that it can play the blame game, or based on this blame game, can influence the thoughts of the elites and decision makers of the Islamic Republic of Iran, [it should know that] this is a wrong belief. We know what we want in Vienna, and what we want is completely within the framework of JCPOA.”
