Diplomatic Thaw: Iran and US Edge Toward Nuclear Negotiation

Iran is considering resuming negotiations with the U.S. to resolve nuclear program disputes, with possible talks in Turkey. Key issues include uranium enrichment and ballistic missile limits, amid heightened regional tensions. Both sides are engaging diplomatically, hoping for sanction relief and de-escalation.

Iran is contemplating a return to negotiations with the United States, as the two countries aim to resolve ongoing nuclear program tensions. Official sources suggest a meeting in Turkey between U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi could occur soon, signaling renewed diplomatic efforts.

The backdrop includes intensified tensions, with the U.S. Navy's military presence near Iran following the crackdown on protests, and President Trump's demands for Iran to make critical nuclear concessions. Trump reportedly outlined three main preconditions for resumption: halting uranium enrichment, curbing ballistic missiles, and ending support for regional proxies.

Although Iran dismisses these demands as violations of sovereignty, it views its missile program as a major hurdle. The Foreign Ministry, however, signals readiness for dialogue, particularly desiring sanction relief, with Turkey and regional allies advocating diplomacy over military action. The current diplomatic process places pressure on President Trump to decide on further actions.
