Ex-Iranian official: Trump stopped Yemen war raising nuclear deal odds
Shafaq News/ A former Iranian official said Tuesday that US de-escalation in Yemen reflects fears of a wider conflict sparked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In an interview with Shafaq News, Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh, former head of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said the 'likelihood of a nuclear agreement between Tehran and Washington has increased.' His remarks come amid renewed signals from Iranian officials suggesting momentum toward reviving nuclear diplomacy with the United States. Falahatpisheh linked the shift in US posture to broader regional dynamics, stating Trump 'understands that Netanyahu is adept at starting wars but unable to control them.' He warned that a large-scale conflict in the Middle East would severely damage US economic interests in the region, adding that this strategic calculation has prompted Washington to reduce tensions in Yemen and explore the possibility of a new agreement with Iran.

Iranian Foreign Ministry: Uranium enrichment is a non-negotiable "red line"
Tehran - Saba: Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi emphasized that Iran's right to uranium enrichment is a "red line" that cannot be waived in any future negotiations. Gharibabadi's statement came during a meeting of the Islamic Consultative Assembly's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee on Sunday evening, where he gave a report on the indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States that recently took place in the Italian capital Rome, and answered the MPs' inquiries. Committee spokesman MP Ebrahim Rezaei quoted Gharibabadi as emphasizing Iran's "seriousness in the negotiations," calling on the other side to show the same seriousness and not succumb to the pressure exerted by the Zionist entity to undermine the talks. He emphasized that Iran's proposals are based on the leadership's directives , the endorsements of higher institutions, and call for a comprehensive lifting of the embargo in order to bring tangible economic gains to the Iranian people. According to Rezaei, Gharibabadi stressed that "Iran does not seek to possess nuclear weapons, and that its nuclear program is aimed at peaceful uses only," noting that "uranium enrichment is carried out within this framework." He also announced that "technical meetings between experts from both sides will be held indirectly in the Omani capital Muscat on Wednesday to discuss the technical details of the negotiations," stressing "the need to remove the legal structure of the embargo, including laws passed by the US Congress and executive orders issued by the White House."

Iran Serious In Talks With US, Seeks No Delay
TEHRAN, April 21 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said on Sunday the country is serious in its indirect negotiations with the United States and wants no delay in the diplomatic process, Xinhua reported. Gharibabadi made the remarks at a meeting with members of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee in Tehran, the official news agency IRNA quoted the committee's spokesperson, Ebrahim Rezaei, as saying. Gharibabadi said that Tehran and Washington, during their second round of indirect talks in the Italian capital Rome on Saturday, discussed and agreed on "the overall framework, agenda, and (subsequent) technical talks." bootstrap slideshow According to Rezaei, the deputy foreign minister has stressed that "all sanctions (on Iran) should be lifted in a way that benefits the Iranian people economically," while emphasising that Tehran would not negotiate on its right to enrich uranium, which he said is "among the red lines." The Rome talks and the previous round of Iran-US dialogue that took place in the Omani capital Muscat on April 12 have centred on Tehran's nuclear programme and the removal of Washington's sanctions. Hailed by both sides as "constructive," the talks followed US President Donald Trump's threats to bomb Iran if the Middle Eastern country does not accept his offer for talks outlined in a letter sent to Iran's leadership in early March. In July 2015, Iran signed a nuclear deal with Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the US. Formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the deal accepts restrictions on its nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief. However, the US withdrew from the deal in May 2018 and reinstated sanctions, prompting Iran to scale back some of its nuclear commitments. Efforts to revive the nuclear deal have not achieved substantial progress.
