Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that no date has been set for the next round of negotiations with the United States or European countries, adding that indirect talks have also not been finalised, state television IRIB reported.

Speaking on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting, Araghchi said no country had been confirmed as a mediator for such discussions.

He stressed that “snapback” sanctions had no validity from Tehran’s perspective, arguing that European states were no longer considered participants in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Araghchi said talks with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) would take place on August 10 regarding a new cooperation framework, noting that no agreement had yet been reached.

“Until we reach this new framework, cooperation will not begin,” he said, adding that it would be based on legislation passed by Iran’s parliament.

On regional matters, Araghchi said Iran remained in regular contact with both Armenia and Azerbaijan, welcoming any peace agreement between the two countries.

He confirmed upcoming phone calls with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, as well as a visit by Armenia’s deputy foreign minister to Tehran on August 13.

He reiterated Iran’s position of supporting regional countries’ full sovereignty, rejecting any changes to international borders and opposing the establishment of foreign-controlled corridors.

Araghchi said recent agreements between Armenia and Azerbaijan aligned with Iran’s stance, but expressed concern over reports of an American–Armenian company’s involvement in a transit project in Armenia.

Addressing the situation in Gaza, Araghchi said Iran rejected any occupation or forced displacement of residents, condemning ongoing violence there.

He noted that 22 Islamic nations had issued a joint statement on the matter, calling regional and Arab positions so far “very good.”

On August 9, Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader, condemned the launch of the so-called “Trump Corridor” in the South Caucasus, directly contravening the comments of the foreign minister.

Velayati described the corridor as a geopolitical provocation, stressing that Iran, “with or without Russia, will prevent the construction of the American corridor in the Caucasus.”

He said This corridor threatens the security of the region and will alter its geopolitical map.”

Velayati dismissed the legitimacy of US involvement, adding, “This crossing will not become a corridor owned by Trump, but a graveyard for Trump’s mercenaries.”
