Iranian Negotiator Claims Missiles Secured Concessions in Talks with U.S.

Iranian chief negotiator Abbas Araghchi said that Iran’s missile program has helped secure concessions from the United States during recent diplomatic talks. He stated that the missile issue has forced the U.S. to understand Iran’s position and that the negotiations have been productive.

Araghchi made the remarks during a press briefing in Tehran, emphasizing that the missile topic has been a key bargaining chip in the discussions. He highlighted that the talks have led to a better understanding between the two sides.

The comments come amid ongoing negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, with both sides seeking to address security concerns while avoiding a military confrontation.
