New York Times Report on U.S. Negotiations with Iran
The New York Times newspaper, citing statements from officials of three countries, has reported on the quiet negotiations between the U.S. and Tehran. Fada-Hossein Maleki, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Parliament, also says that Iran and the U.S. are having direct talks.
On Thursday, June 15, the New York Times reported, quoting unnamed official sources from Iran, Israel, and the U.S., that the Biden administration is quietly negotiating with the Islamic Republic over the nuclear program and prisoner exchange.
The report adds that these negotiations are part of broader U.S. efforts to de-escalate tensions and prevent the risk of military confrontation with the Islamic Republic.
Informed sources have told this American newspaper that the U.S. government’s goal is to reach an informal agreement and a verbal contract with Iran, a matter that officials of the Islamic Republic interpret as a political truce.
