Former FM:
Negotiations with US on right track
Ali Akbar Salehi, the former Iranian foreign minister and the Head of the Iranology Foundation, said on Sunday that new round of negotiations between Iran and the United States are proceeding “on the right track”.
"If certain international actors who are up to mischief are controlled, I feel that this time the right path is being gone down. The remarks by US President Donald Trump have been positive so far. To what extent he can be relied upon, however, is a separate matter," Salehi told IRNA on the sidelines of the National Congress on the Islamic Republic’s Foreign Policy in Tehran.
The Iranian official also emphasized the necessity of domestic unity in foreign policy as the country has “enough enemies abroad”.
Referring to the Iranian foreign minister’s positive assessments of the first round of nuclear negotiations with the US, which were held in Oman on Friday, "I think if no particular incident comes up and we stand together within the country, this domestic unity will lead to an increase in power and provide strong support for our negotiator."
Iran and the US have launched new round of negotiations in Oman to resolve tensions over Iran’s nuclear program.
