After the fourth round of talks between the United States and Iran, which was due to take place in Rome on Saturday, were postponed, a senior Iranian official tells Reuters that a new date will be set “depending on the US approach.”
“US sanctions on Iran during the nuclear talks are not helping the sides to resolve the nuclear dispute through diplomacy,” the official tells Reuters. “Depending on the US approach, the date of the next round of talks will be announced.”
Earlier, Iran accused the US of “contradictory behaviour and provocative statements” after Washington warned Tehran of consequences for backing Yemen’s Houthis and imposed new oil-related sanctions on it amid nuclear talks.
Oman, which mediated earlier sessions of US-Iran talks, said earlier that the next round of the nuclear discussions provisionally planned for May 3 would be rescheduled for logistical reasons.
Separately, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson says Tehran will continue to engage “seriously and resolutely” in result-oriented negotiations with the US, state media reported.
