Greater Middle East (bbabo.net), - Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs and Chief Iranian Negotiator at the talks in Vienna, Ali Bagheri, accompanies Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi to New York to attend a meeting of the UN General Assembly. This was stated on September 19 by Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani.

As Iranian news agency IRNA reported, when asked about the possibility of holding a meeting in New York to negotiate the lifting of sanctions, a senior Iranian diplomat said: “There is no such program ... to talk about negotiations on the lifting of sanctions as part of this trip, but international meetings — it's always good."

“I do not rule out the possibility that on the sidelines of the meeting there will be talks on the nuclear issue, as well as negotiations on the lifting of sanctions,” the diplomat continued, noting that Iran naturally uses every opportunity to express its opinion on issues of mutual and international interest.
