A third official noted, 'We want to reach an agreement, and some in Iran also want it; the key is to get the entire Iranian government to agree.'

On April 15, during a press conference, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei stated that Iran's legitimate rights under international law are non-negotiable.

On April 15, during a press conference, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei stated that Iran's position on nuclear weapons is clear. He criticized U.S. officials for pretending not to understand Iran's stance, calling it a sign of insincerity.
