Asked by reporters about the main body overseeing the talks over Iran’s nuclear case, the Foreign Ministry’s public relations department on Tuesday dismissed any change in the status quo.
“Like the past, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in charge of the talks and negotiations on the nuclear issue. This job is being administered by the honorable minister (of foreign affairs) and done by the political, legal and international deputies,” it stated.
The ministry underlined that the Supreme National Security Council is still the only authority that defines the strategy of the nuclear negotiations and makes arrangements among the organizations involved.
The statement came after media speculations that Ali Shamkhani has taken charge of handling the nuclear talks.
