Iran Open to Talks on Nuclear Militarisation Amid High Tensions
Iran has expressed willingness to negotiate with the United States regarding the militarization of its nuclear program.

Tensions remain high over Iran's uranium enrichment and potential military confrontations.

Iran announced on Sunday its openness to engage in talks with the United States, provided that the discussions focus exclusively on the potential militarization of its nuclear program. This comes amidst a statement from Iran's UN mission emphasizing the conditionality of such negotiations.
The announcement follows statements from Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, who rejected dialogue with the US aimed at restricting Iran's missile capabilities and regional power. These developments occurred shortly after US President Donald Trump indicated a desire to negotiate a new agreement with Tehran.
Fears of military confrontation have emerged as Tehran continues to enrich uranium to near weapons-grade levels, and both the US and Israel have vowed to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Tehran insists its nuclear activities are peaceful despite mounting tensions.
