The second round of nuclear negotiations is scheduled for Tuesday, according to Iran’s foreign minister. Majid Takht-Ravanchi mentioned that initial discussions moved in a positive direction but emphasized that Iran does not accept zero uranium enrichment.
Iran has expressed willingness to consider compromises for a nuclear deal with the U.S., provided Washington is open to lifting sanctions. The country is prepared to discuss limits on its nuclear activities separate from other issues like missile development.
The upcoming talks in Geneva mark the continuation of discussions that resumed earlier this month in Oman. Takht-Ravanchi indicated that the preliminary conversations were generally positive but cautioned against premature conclusions.
A U.S. delegation, including envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, will meet with Iranian representatives on Tuesday morning, with Oman acting as a mediator in these negotiations, according to sources.
Iran’s nuclear chief stated that the country might agree to lower its highly enriched uranium stockpile if all financial sanctions are removed. Takht-Ravanchi highlighted Iran’s flexibility during an interview, pointing out that Iran is willing to dilute its uranium in exchange for the sanctions relief.
Iran maintains it does not seek nuclear weapons and rejects the idea of complete uranium enrichment ban, a major obstacle in negotiations last year. The U.S. views Iran’s enrichment activities as a potential pathway toward developing nuclear arms.
Previously, the Trump administration withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which was a key diplomatic achievement under President Barack Obama. The deal aimed to ease sanctions in exchange for Iran limiting its nuclear program to prevent making an atomic bomb.
