Iran said it is carefully reviewing the possibility of renewed talks with Western countries over its nuclear program, indicating that internal assessments are ongoing regarding potential formats and venues for dialogue. Speaking at a weekly press briefing in Tehran, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said authorities are examining different approaches before any decision is made.
Iran stresses sanctions relief and guarantees
Baghaei said previous negotiations were undermined by breaches of commitments and a lack of trust from other parties, prompting Iran to proceed with greater caution this time. He said any future talks must be results-oriented and supported by credible guarantees of implementation.
According to the spokesperson, Iran’s primary demand remains the lifting of economic sanctions imposed by the United States. He added that if there are verifiable assurances on sanctions relief, Iran would be prepared to address international concerns regarding its nuclear activities and take steps aimed at building confidence and transparency.
Diplomatic solution still possible, officials say
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has also said that a diplomatic solution to the nuclear issue remains possible. He stated that a fair and balanced agreement could be reached swiftly if Washington abandons policies of pressure and threats in favor of dialogue.
Despite heightened tensions linked to recent U.S. military activities and remarks by President Donald Trump, Araghchi said Iran remains committed to protecting its national interests through diplomatic channels.
Iran’s official position comes amid reports in Western media suggesting preparations for discreet talks between Iran and Western powers in Turkey. Tehran has said it is seeking concrete outcomes and firm guarantees of implementation in any future negotiations.
International observers view the prospect of renewed dialogue as a potential opportunity to ease rising tensions in the Middle East and contribute to regional stability.
