Al Jazeera's exclusive interview with Seyed Abbas Arakhchi/2 wrote: Was a delegation of Iranian experts sent to Doha to meet the Americans? Dr. Argachi: Yes, my deputy is now in Doha to continue consulting with Qatari friends. We have no plans to meet with the American delegation. Reporter: When can we expect a direct meeting between Iran and America? Because Vance talked about meeting in Doha, Qatar or Turkey.? Dr. Argachi: So far no plan has been set for the conversation and all the rumors that exist are speculations by the media. We are not in a position to meet. Our terms are clear. Qatari and Pakistani friends are also consulting on this matter. If America accepts these terms, the Strait of Hormuz will open and then the talks will begin, now mediated or indirectly or without mediation. Reporter: What happened between you and Steve Witkoff in New York? This meeting may even have caused the dissatisfaction of the Iranian parliament. Was this meeting a continuation of the talks that took place in New York? Dr. Argachi: We had a round of indirect negotiations with Mr. Witkoff and Mr. Kushner through Qatar in New York. There I presented Iran's conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's seven-day plan. Reporter: You talked more about issues related to Iran. But what about the United States? The US vice president and Trump himself talk about the nuclear issue and say that this issue will be raised in the next phase of the negotiations, not in later phases. They talk about inspectors coming back, reducing enrichment levels and removing some of the uranium. Iran's position on these three issues Dr. Argachi: There are two problems. Opening the Strait of Hormuz, which has its own conditions, let's discuss issues that interest us and the Americans. We are interested in negotiating a complete lifting of the sanctions, and they are interested in the nuclear issue. Our policy is clear; First we will decide on the Strait of Hormuz which will be opened with the implementation of Iran's conditions, and then we will discuss issues of interest to the parties and decide which way to go.
