Iran has said that no negotiations with the US are scheduled at any level in the coming days, stressing that its priority remains the implementation of its memorandum of understanding on ending the war.
Esmaeil Baqaei, Iran’s foreign ministry and negotiating team spokesperson, told reporters on Monday that Tehran is currently focused on ensuring the implementation of the memorandum’s provisions and is “seriously pursuing” its demands in that regard, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.
Baqaei said the US had already issued the necessary licences under Article 10 of the memorandum related to oil sales and that Iran was following the implementation process.

On Article 11 concerning the release of Iran’s frozen assets, he said the implementation process was also under way and that an Iranian expert delegation would travel to Doha later this week to follow up on the matter.
He added that Iran had not yet entered the stage of negotiations for a final agreement, saying Article 13 of the memorandum stipulates that talks on a comprehensive deal “can only begin” after the implementation of Articles 1, 4, 5, 10 and 11 and their continued enforcement.
