In the wake of the resumption of nuclear talks in Vienna on November 29, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Said Khatibazada sent warnings and conditions this morning (Monday) to US President Joe Biden and his representatives, during a weekly briefing in Tehran.

"The United States should know that it is a party to the agreement and cannot place demands from its members," Khatibazada said, emphasizing, "First of all, it must prove its brotherhood."
"We are glad that the Americans are constantly repeating their intentions and desires. They may want to remove all the illegal and extra-territorial sanctions imposed by the former US government, but what matters is the actions."
The spokesman later reiterated the regime's demand to remove the sanctions imposed since the unilateral withdrawal from the agreement, during the presidency of Donald Trump and stressed that the US should be a guarantor that no future government will ever come out of the understandings.
"The United States' path back to the agreement is clear.
"As the guilty party in the current situation, it must return to the way it went," he warned.

An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman also sent an apparent warning to Israel: "Those behind the recent cyber attacks know the Islamic Republic's capabilities in this area, know their weaknesses, have received responses in the past and will receive responses from now on."
At the same time, Khatibazadeh announced that Ali Bagari Kenny, the director of the Iranian negotiating team, had set out for a round of meetings in France, Germany and Britain, an official visit that could include more countries.
As you may recall, last week the Iranians announced that they would return to the negotiating table in preparation for a new nuclear agreement following talks with EU representatives.
The United States welcomed the decision and confirmed that it would send Robert Mali, President Biden's special envoy to Iran for talks.
