Iran to Resume Nuclear Talks

　　Iran has signaled its intensions to resume talks with world powers over its nuclear program.

 

　　President Hassan Rouhani is reportedly very close to appointing a new chief nuclear negotiator.

 

　　The Iranian Foreign Ministry¹ is on record saying it will announce its plans to resume talks with the P5+1 grouping as soon as the new nuclear negotiator and the negotiating team are set up.

 

　　Iranian domestic media is reporting it's likely Iran's Foreign Ministry will take over from the Supreme² National Security Council to lead the nuclear talks.

 

　　At the same time, a top adviser³ to Iran's supreme leader is also using more conciliatory language.

 

　　Ali Akbar Velayati is a close advisor⁴ to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

 

　　"Repeating the same language that we had before, I don't think it is useful. We have to talk with a different language. The same purposes but a different language."

 

　　But Velayati notes any final decisions on Iran's nuclear issues are made by the supreme leader, not President Rouhani.

 

　　The last round of negotiations⁵ in April between Iran and the 5-permanent members of the UN Security Council, plus Germany, failed to yield any practical results.
