Iran and US Edge Closer to Potential Nuclear Compromise

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, has indicated a willingness to reach a nuclear deal with the United States, contingent upon sanctions being lifted. Speaking to the BBC, he emphasized Iran's openness to compromise if Washington engages constructively in the discussions.

Takht-Ravanchi reiterated Iran's stance on limiting its nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions, while firmly ruling out negotiations linked to missile capabilities. Confirming that a second round of nuclear discussions will be held in Geneva, he expressed cautious optimism following recent talks in Oman.

As part of efforts to break the deadlock, discussions involve envoys such as Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, with Oman mediating. Iran could consider diluting its enriched uranium if financial sanctions are rescinded, illustrating flexibility yet maintaining refusal of zero uranium enrichment, a persistent U.S. concern.
