Iran has indicated that it is ready to agree to a nuclear deal with the United States, marking a significant development in ongoing negotiations. Tehran signaled its willingness to resume talks but made clear that the removal of all sanctions on the country is a precondition for progress. Iranian Minister Majid Takhta confirmed in an interview that the ball is now in the U.S. court regarding the nuclear agreement.
Majid emphasized that Iran is prepared to discuss issues related to its nuclear program only if sanctions relief is included in the talks. He did not specify whether Tehran is seeking full removal of sanctions or partial relief, leaving some uncertainty over the scope of its demands. Nevertheless, Iran’s position sends a clear message that sanctions relief is key to finalizing a nuclear deal.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has issued warnings, stating that military action could follow if Iran does not come to terms in the ongoing negotiations. Indirect talks between the two nations are taking place in Oman, which Majid described as “positive,” with a second round of discussions expected to begin shortly.
Despite these signals, a crucial question remains: will the United States lift sanctions on Iran? Tehran insists that substantive discussions on a nuclear agreement can only proceed if sanctions are removed. Analysts note that the coming days will be critical in determining whether Washington is willing to make concessions and move the negotiations forward.
