Iraqi: No meeting was planned with the American delegation.
The Foreign Minister on the sidelines of the National Security Commission meeting today:
The trip of the Iranian delegation to Qatar was carried out in accordance with the continuation of the contacts and consultation with the Qatari mediators.
▪️ There was no meeting with the American delegation, nor was it planned at all; We are now at the stage where we are consulting through intermediaries about our program, the seven-day program, which has now become a two-day program.
Qatari mediators were in Tehran and after their departure my deputy also went to Qatar so that the consultations could continue there and he could convey the issues to me; He will be back today.
The result is that this path is progressing and the consultation is underway; But we haven't come to a final conclusion yet.
Whether we reach a conclusion or not depends on the answers to many unanswered questions.
Now we are fully prepared to defend ourselves and at the same time we are ready for diplomacy. The way Americans choose depends on their rationality.
