Iran Considers New Phase of Nuclear Talks, Prioritizing Sanctions Removal

Tehran. Iran has stated that it is seriously considering various aspects and perspectives for a new phase of talks with Western nations regarding its nuclear program. Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ismail Baghaei provided this information while commenting on reports that talks were set to begin in Turkey during a weekly press conference held in Tehran.

According to Spokesperson Baghaei, due to past violations of agreements and betrayals by other parties in previous negotiations, Iran is giving special importance to timing and caution this time. He clarified that Iran's main priority is the removal of economic sanctions imposed by the United States. He stated that if the lifting of sanctions is assured, Iran is ready to address global concerns about its nuclear program and build an environment of trust.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi also mentioned that the possibility of a diplomatic solution to the nuclear issue is still alive. He stated that if the US abandons its policy of pressure and threats, a fair and impartial agreement could be reached in a short time. Despite increased tension due to recent US military activities and statements by President Donald Trump, Iran maintains its stance of defending its national interests through diplomatic means.

This official stance from Iran was made public following claims by Western media that secret talks were being prepared between Iran and Western powers in Turkey. Iran is seeking concrete results and guarantees of implementation in this round of talks. The international community also views these potential talks as an opportunity to reduce rising tensions in the Middle East.
