Iran did not take part in technical talks slated for Sunday due to recent attacks on the country and unfulfilled conditions of the MoU with the United States, a member of the Office of Preservation and Publication of the Works of Iran’s Supreme Leader told state TV on Sunday.
"For example one of the reasons is checking if we have access to the unfrozen funds, if there is no access then this condition has not been fulfilled," Mehdi Fazaeili said.
However, a senior US official told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday that "nothing had been canceled" regarding the talks between Americans and Iranians expected to be held this week.
"Technical talks regarding the implementation of MoU are on track for the coming days as planned, and deconfliction channels are up and running after the Lake Lucerne Summit," he said.
