“Iran says Pakistani mediation marks ‘turning point’ in US talks Iran says intense diplomatic activity in Tehran could mark a decisive stage in efforts to reach a peace agreement with the United States. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the presence of senior Pakistani officials in the Iranian capital signals a critical moment in the talks. “The current process and the presence of senior Pakistani officials in Tehran means that we have reached a turning point or a decisive situation,” Baghaei said. He added that Tehran remains cautious about discussing nuclear details, blaming past talks for opening the door to war. “The reason we don’t talk about the details of nuclear-related discussions is clear. We have done this twice, and the other party’s greed led us into war. We cannot ignore this experience,” said Baghaei. He said Iran’s nuclear position remains unchanged. “Regarding nuclear issues, the matter is very clear – we are a member of the NPT [Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty] and we have the right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes,” he added.
