Tehran/internet/Hyderabad, Feb 3 (Maxim News): Iran has tentatively agreed to resume nuclear talks with the US as it tries to avert the threat of further military strikes, in what would be the first such negotiations since the Trump administration bombed three of Iran’s nuclear sites last summer.
Iran’s top diplomat Abbas Araghchi is expected to meet US Special Representative Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Istanbul on Friday, Iran’s president later confirmed it was pursuing negotiations –– though with conditions.
“I have instructed my Minister of Foreign Affairs, provided that a suitable environment exists — one free from threats and unreasonable expectations — to pursue fair and equitable negotiations, guided by the principles of dignity, prudence, and expediency,” wrote Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on X on Tuesday.
Pezeshkian said he had given the go-ahead for the negotiations following “requests from friendly governments in the region.” “These negotiations shall be conducted within the framework of our national interests,” said Pezeshkian.
While Pezeshkian is president, ultimate power in Iran rests with the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He struck a defiant tone in Tehran on Sunday, warning that any US strike on Iran would result in a regional war.
Tensions have soared in the last few weeks, with US President Donald Trump sending a US “armada” to the region and renewing threats to strike Iran again if it does not agree to negotiate a new nuclear deal. Earlier in January, Trump had also warned of possible military action in response to nationwide protests in Iran, which had triggered deadly crackdowns by security forces.
People familiar with the matter told CNN last week that Trump was considering options including airstrikes targeting Iran’s leaders, nuclear sites, and government institutions. A US carrier strike group is now in the region, where it could support any potential operations against the country. (Maxim News)
