Alexandar Sullivan:
Iran has signaled a willingness to consider compromises in its nuclear negotiations with the United States, provided Washington addresses sanctions relief, according to Majid Takht-Ravanchi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister, in an interview with the BBC in Tehran.
“The ball is in America’s court to prove that they want to do a deal,” Takht-Ravanchi said, adding that Iran would move toward an agreement if the US demonstrated sincerity. His remarks come ahead of a second round of indirect talks scheduled for Tuesday in Geneva, following earlier discussions in Oman that both sides described as cautiously positive.
Takht-Ravanchi pointed to Tehran’s offer to dilute its 60% enriched uranium—a level close to weapons-grade—as evidence of flexibility. However, he rejected demands for zero enrichment, calling the issue “not on the table anymore.” He also reiterated that Iran’s ballistic missile program would not be part of negotiations.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said reaching a deal remains difficult, and President Donald Trump has threatened military action if diplomacy fails. Iran warned that further escalation could destabilize the region, where US forces have increased their presence.
Despite lingering mistrust, particularly after past negotiations collapsed, Iranian officials say they will enter the Geneva talks with cautious hope.
