According to BlockBeats, on May 23, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagaei said in an interview with Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting that the current focus of negotiations is to push for an end to the "imposed war," and that the nuclear issue will not be discussed in depth for the time being. Iran and the United States are working hard to finalize a memorandum of understanding.
Bagaé stated that the current negotiations do not involve the nuclear issue or the specific details of lifting sanctions, but Iran's demands for the lifting of sanctions, especially the release of frozen assets, are clearly written into the 14 Memoranda of Understanding. He indicated that Iran is not currently discussing the nuclear issue in depth because it believes that the nuclear issue has twice been used as a pretext for launching wars against Iran.
Iran is currently focused on ending the "war on all fronts," including Lebanon, and may re-enter nuclear negotiations in the next phase, which could take 30 or 60 days.
