IRNA – Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has rejected the idea of holding direct negotiations with the United States as long as the “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran is in place, saying Washington has agreed to hold indirect negotiations.
Speaking at a meeting with Algerian elites and media figures in Algiers on Tuesday, Araqchi said bilateral talks should be conducted on equal footing, not under maximum pressure and military threats.
“As long as maximum pressure and threats exist, there is no ground for fair negotiations, and we will not hold direct negotiations,” he said.
However, he hastened to add, the path to diplomacy is not closed, and “we have announced that we can negotiate indirectly with the United States.”
Early on Tuesday, Araqchi announced via X that high-level “indirect” negotiations are slated to be held in Oman on Saturday between Tehran and Washington.

On Saturday, April 12, 2025 high-level “indirect” negotiations are slated to be held in Oman between Tehran and Washington. (remote video conference)
On Monday (Apr 7th) , the President Trump threatened once again that if the talks were unsuccessful, “Iran is going to be in great danger.”
In his Tuesday meeting (Apr 8th), Araqchi asserted that the Islamic Republic of Iran does not want war, but if necessary, “it knows how to defend itself well.”
Iran's surrogate Militia's have all been badly damaged except for those in Iraq. The Mullah's gave the Iraqi Militia's leaders their choice of to surrender their weapons and disband or continue to fight.
Someday at Christmas, there'll be no wars (only if Trump is not responsible for peace)
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth (Only if Trump is not responsible)
Someone said long ago - "Blessed are the peacemakers..."
Indirectly...
So, I’m thinking hand puppet shadows...?
I have read a hint this afternoon, the the Iranians may actually directly participate in the discussion.
I will never believe anything the Mullahs say. They are long on deception and lies.
This is in uncharted waters now.
It is in God’s hands.
Well, at some point there will be a universal hand sign put to use.
I don’t think either side will do that publicly.
However I saw Elon Musk do and say that. Smile.
