Iran has expressed readiness to resume nuclear negotiations with the United States — but only if key principles are upheld. Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharib-Abadi made the announcement on Thursday, signaling a potential thaw in stalled diplomacy.
The statement precedes a critical meeting with European powers in Istanbul, Turkiye, scheduled for Friday. It’s seen as a fresh attempt to revive nuclear discussions that have remained frozen amid rising regional tensions.
Gharib-Abadi outlined three key conditions for Iran’s return to the negotiating table:
# Recognition of Iran’s rights under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)
# Trust-building efforts from Washington, D.C.
# Assurances that talks won’t result in renewed military action against Iran
His remarks follow a turbulent period involving U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, which disrupted international inspections and intensified instability across the region.
Diplomatic watchers are now closely monitoring Friday’s talks in Istanbul, seen as a litmus test for whether cautious optimism can translate into concrete diplomatic progress.
