Istanbul hosted so-called P5+1 countries. They include the five permanent Security Council members – America, Russia, China, Britain, and France – plus Germany.

Iran participated in good faith. Its delegation came with little hope hardline Western views would soften. On April 14, both sides agreed to more talks in Baghdad on May 23.

At issue isn’t Iran’s nuclear program. Tehran’s a Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) signatory. It complies fully with provisions. No evidence suggests otherwise. Nonetheless, bogus accusations persist.

Iran won’t relinquish its legal rights. Washington remains hardline and obstructionist. An unnamed US official called May 23 talks “very difficult.”

Both sides continued on Thursday. A possible Geneva June round was discussed. On May 24, the Washington Post headlined “Iran nuclear talks continue on second day,” saying:

Talks resumed Thursday “amid fading hopes that these latest negotiations would help ease tensions over Tehran’s disputed nuclear program.”

As explained above and numerous previous times, Iran’s program complies fully with international law obligations. Washington’s the problem, not Tehran.
