Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae stated that whether negotiations with the United States were direct or indirect is a completely secondary issue. Don't forget the real core issue: we have negotiated with the United States and reached an agreement. The United States even signed this agreement at the highest level, but it lasted less than two weeks. Therefore, the key issue is not whether the negotiations are direct or indirect. What truly matters is whether both sides possess the sincerity and willingness to advance the diplomatic process in a conventional diplomatic manner. True diplomacy means acknowledging the rights and interests of the other side, avoiding attempts to unilaterally extract benefits from the other side, and simultaneously depriving the other side of any opportunity to gain any benefits. This is the core of the issue. As for other questions raised, including various media speculations about whether different countries have made certain demands on Iran, most are secondary issues. I believe we should always focus on the real core issue.
