Recent U.S. sanctions on Iran are not constructive when it comes to negotiations, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Tuesday, after the two countries held a fourth round of nuclear talks on Sunday in Oman.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei criticized the latest U.S. sanctions, stating they are "not constructive" for ongoing nuclear negotiations, on 13th of May. His remarks came shortly after the fourth round of nuclear talks between Iran and the United States, held on May 11 in Muscat, Oman. Baghaei emphasized that such measures hinder diplomatic progress, especially amid efforts to resolve disputes over Iran's nuclear program.
On the same day, the U.S. imposed sanctions on a shipping network accused of transporting millions of barrels of Iranian oil to China. According to the U.S. State Department, the oil sales generated billions of dollars used to finance Iranian military activities and attacks by the Houthi militant group in the Red Sea, as well as aggression against the U.S. Navy and Israel. The sanctioned network allegedly operated on behalf of Iran's Armed Forces General Staff and its front company, Sepehr Energy.
These developments underscore the ongoing tensions between the two nations, as diplomatic efforts continue alongside punitive economic measures.
