Washington Confirms Iran-US Nuclear Talks as Diplomatic Efforts Resume
Washington: Nuclear talks between Iran and the United States are scheduled to take place on Friday, according to a news agency report.
The report said that Iran and the United States will resume nuclear negotiations in Türkiye, with representatives from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and several other countries also expected to participate in the talks.
According to the news agency, delegates from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar will likewise be part of the Iran-US negotiations.
The development follows US President Donald Trump’s decision to set a deadline for Iran, accompanied by warnings of major military action if an agreement is not reached. In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian ordered the initiation of negotiations with the United States aimed at reviving a nuclear agreement.
Iranian President Pezeshkian had directed that talks on the nuclear file between Tehran and Washington be formally launched.
This was reported earlier by Iran’s official news agency Fars News, and the report was also published by the state-run daily Iran and a reformist newspaper.
Previously, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei had said that work was underway on preparing the framework and procedural mechanisms for the negotiations, which would be finalized soon.
He added that several points were being discussed and expressed hope that the next stages of the diplomatic process would be completed in the near future, though he did not disclose details of the negotiation agenda.
The latest development comes at a time when US President Donald Trump has expressed hope for reaching a possible agreement to prevent military action in the Middle East.
