On Thursday morning, today, it was announced that the May 3 planned fourth round of negotiations between U.S. and Iranian representatives has been postponed for supposed “logistical reasons,” according to the statement from Oman, which is mediating the talks.
Statements from Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei gave a different picture. Baghaei faulted “the contradictory approach of American decision-makers and their lack of goodwill and seriousness in advancing the path of diplomacy. The responsibility for the consequences and destructive effects of the contradictory behavior and provocative statements of American officials regarding Iran will lie with the American side.”
