Tehran - Saba:
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian responded to media speculation about an imminent agreement between Tehran and Washington, stating: "The media continues to predict an impending deal between Iran and the U.S. I am not confident that we are truly at such a point."
According to Iran’s official news agency IRNA, Amir-Abdollahian added in a post on X (formerly Twitter): "The Islamic Republic of Iran is sincerely seeking a diplomatic solution that secures the interests of all parties. However, this requires an agreement that lifts all sanctions and guarantees Iran’s nuclear rights, including enrichment."
The Iranian foreign minister also referenced a report by an American news channel citing Austrian intelligence sources regarding Iran’s nuclear program, saying: "As for the latest fabricated news against Iranian and American diplomacy, using Iran’s name as a tool to attack domestic critics in the U.S. is a worthless move, even for 'Israel'."
Fox News had claimed that a new intelligence report prepared by Austrian authorities alleged that Iran is still continuing its active nuclear weapons program, which the report suggested could be used to launch long-range missiles.
It added that this intelligence data collected by Austrian authorities contradicts the assessment of the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
Earlier, in March, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines informed the Senate Intelligence Committee that Iran is not manufacturing nuclear weapons and that the Supreme Leader of Iran has not authorized the militarization of the country’s nuclear program.
