NPR’s Initiative in Creating Dialogue Between Iran and the USA
NPR’s initiative in creating dialogue between Iran and the USA is led by one of the reputable American media outlets that has a special and pioneering role in news reporting and analysis. Now, the special experts of this media have arranged an interesting dialogue between Iran and the USA by juxtaposing the statements of Iran’s Foreign Minister and Robert Malley. This simple and attractive method has facilitated a dialogue between the two sides in the media domain and naturally for the audience.
Regarding the Iranian people’s protests and their demands for civil rights, the Iranian Foreign Minister had said that his message to the USA is that no significant events are happening in Iran and regime change will not occur. Robert Malley had stated that the USA’s demand from Iran is to grant civil and basic rights to the people and to stop blaming the USA and Israel, and this regime or that government. The USA is never seeking regime change in Iran.
Regarding the 2022 JCPOA negotiations, the Iranian Foreign Minister had stated that they are very close to an agreement and only a few very important issues remain. On this matter, Robert Malley said that there was an agreement on the table that everyone agreed with until March 2022, then summer came, and then August, and Iran raised demands that were beyond the JCPOA and irrelevant.
The Iranian Foreign Minister has requested a guarantee that the next US President will not withdraw from the agreement, and Robert Malley has also said that the Biden administration cannot influence the next US President, and if this is Iran’s demand, it lacks grounds for negotiation.
Regarding the freedom and exchange of prisoners, the Iranian Foreign Minister has expressed full readiness for dialogue and receiving something in return for the release of American prisoners. Robert Malley has also said about prisoners and their exchange that there is no trade or give-and-take involved, and the USA will continue its maximum effort for the freedom of its prisoners.
