Qatar’s flagship Al Jazeera TV cites Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi as saying that no new date has been set for the next round of nuclear talks with Washington, a day after the two sides held talks in Oman.

Araghchi says in an interview with the channel that Tehran and Washington think the new round should be held soon.

He also criticises what he says was a “doctrine of domination” that allows Israel to expand its military arsenal while pressuring other countries in the region to disarm.

“Israel’s expansionist project requires that neighboring countries be weakened: militarily, technologically, economically and socially,” Araghchi says.

“Under this project, Israel is free to expand its military arsenal without limits… Yet other countries are demanded to disarm. Others are pressured to reduce defensive capacity. Others are punished for scientific progress,” he adds.

“This is a doctrine of domination.”
