Tehran: Iran’s deputy foreign minister says Qatari mediators held “nearly 14 to 15 hours of lengthy talks” in Tehran to reach an agreement on a draft memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran.
”This negotiation process took a long time,” Kazem Gharibabadi told Iranian state media on Monday.
“A Qatari delegation was in Tehran yesterday to finalise discussions on the text of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States.
“Nearly 14 to 15 hours of lengthy talks took place, during which we presented the Islamic Republic of Iran’s final amendments to the text. Naturally, those amendments were accepted, and the text of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding was finalised.”
The deputy minister said talks on a final deal will happen over a 60-day period where Iran has “several issues to address” with a top priority being the lifting of all sanctions against it.
