Iran’s FM warns of Israeli attempts to derail diplomacy through various tactics

Araghchi said the country’s security services are on high alert given sabotage attempts and assassination bids in the past.

“The attempts by the Israeli regime and certain Special Interest groups to derail diplomacy — using a variety of tactics — is abundantly clear for all to see,” Araghchi wrote in a post published on X on Wednesday.

He noted that Iran’s security services are on high alert given past instances of attempted sabotage and assassination operations, emphasizing that the Islamic Republic will deliver a legitimate response in case of any act of aggression.

The Iranian foreign minister also warned of a propaganda and misinformation campaign against the Islamic Republic.

“Those seeking to manipulate public opinion can also be expected to come up with fantastical claims and props like scary-looking satellite images,” Araghchi pointed out.

The top Iranian diplomat underscored that the country’s peaceful nuclear activities and its uranium enrichment capabilities are under surveillance of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

“Reality check: Every single milligram of enriched uranium in Iran is under full and constant IAEA supervision and monitoring,” Araghchi said.

According to an informed source, a third round of talks focusing on technical details between Iran and the United States will take place indirectly on Saturday and will be mediated by Oman.

The source said the upcoming technical talks in Muscat will be attended by Iranian and American specialists, and will focus on nuclear matters and issues pertaining to sanctions.

The experts will be discussing the possibility of achieving an agreement, the source said.

“The technical negotiations will be held with the participation of Iranian and American experts indirectly and with the mediation of Omani experts,” the source added.

In the last two weeks, representatives from Iran and the US have engaged in two rounds of negotiations in Oman and Italy. The two sides are set to conduct expert-level technical negotiations on April 26.
