Iranian officials

We distrust the other side very much, but we're optimistic about our own capabilities

Selected statements from Imam Khamenei's address in his meeting with a number of senior Iranian officials from the three branches of government on the occasion of the New Year on April 15, 2025

The Oman talks are one of the tens of tasks of the Foreign Ministry. We shouldn't make all the country's issues dependent on those talks.

Red lines are clear

The actions taken in the initial steps of the Oman talks were good. And from hereon, this must be pursued carefully. The red lines are clear. They're clear for the other side, and they're clear for us too.

Neither overly optimistic nor overly pessimistic about Oman talks

We're neither overly optimistic nor overly pessimistic about the Oman talks. The Oman talks is a movement that's been decided upon and well executed in its initial steps. Of course, we distrust the other side very much, but we're optimistic about our own capabilities.
