ANTALYA: No date has been set for the next round of Iran-US peace talks brokered by Pakistan following the failure of the first one, Iran’s deputy foreign minister said on Saturday.
“Until we agree on the framework, we cannot set the date,” Saeed Khatibzadeh told journalists on the sidelines of an annual Turkish diplomatic forum in the southern province of Antalya.
“Now we are focusing on finalizing the framework of understanding between two sides. We don’t want to enter into any negotiation or meeting which is due to failure which can be pretext for another round of escalation,” he said.
Khatibzadeh told journalists on the sidelines of the forum that US President Donald Trump “tweets a lot,” after Washington threatened fresh strikes if no deal was reached with Tehran.
“The American side tweets a lot, talks a lot. Sometimes confusing, sometimes, you know, contradictory,” he said.
