Iran says US delaying nuclear talks, prisoner swap is unrelated

DUBAI, 23 August 2022, (TON): Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman on Monday accused the United States of “procrastinating” in indirect talks to revive a 2015 nuclear deal and said “a prisoner swap with Washington was not linked to the negotiations.”

Nasser Kanaani said “a few issues remained to be resolved but they were very important ones.”

He said “the Americans are procrastinating and there is inaction from the European sides… America and Europe need an agreement more than Iran.”

Kanaani said “Tehran wanted a sustainable deal that would preserve its legitimate rights.”

He said “we emphasize that the exchange of prisoners with Washington is a separate issue and it has nothing to do with the process of negotiations to revive the 2015 pact.”
