azatutyun.am U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that he has given Iran a "one-week vacation" from negotiations due to the funeral ceremonies of the slain leader of the Islamic Republic, Ali Khamenei.
On the evening of July 3, during an event dedicated to the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, Trump said in his speech: "We crushed Iran. They desperately want to reach an agreement. We gave them a one-week vacation due to the funeral because we are nice."
The latest round of indirect negotiations between the United States and Iran took place in Doha on July 1. Reuters, citing an Iranian official familiar with the talks, reported that the discussions were of a technical nature.
U.S. President Donald Trump had stated that the recent meetings with Iran in Qatar went well. "The process of Iran's denuclearization is going well," the White House chief said, without providing further details.
Iranian authorities have organized six days of funeral ceremonies in several cities for Iran's former supreme leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in strikes from Israel and the U.S. at the end of February. However, it is still unclear whether his son and successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, who was injured in the strike, will participate in any of these events.
