Iran eyes progress towards US nuclear talks as tension eases
"Iran has said that it expects progress on a framework to restart nuclear talks with the United States as unverified reports suggest the country's president has ordered the revival of the negotiations. Tehran said on Monday that it is examining several diplomatic processes pitched by countries in the region to ease tensions with Washington, adding that it expects a framework for talks in the coming days."
"US President Donald Trump sent warships to the Middle East after Iran violently put down mass protests in January, but he then called for Tehran to make a deal to resume talks on its nuclear programme, which were abandoned in June when Iran was attacked by the US and Israel. On Sunday, Trump said the US is talking with Iran. Tehran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has now confirmed indirect negotiations are ongoing."
Iran expects progress on a framework to restart nuclear talks with the United States and is examining several diplomatic processes from regional countries to ease tensions with Washington. Tehran hopes to conclude and finalise details of each stage in the diplomatic process in the coming days. Regional governments are acting as mediators exchanging messages as Iran confirms indirect negotiations. US President Donald Trump sent warships to the Middle East after Iran violently suppressed mass protests in January but later called for a deal to resume nuclear talks. Iranian officials held telephone discussions with Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkiye, and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is due to meet US envoy Steve Witkoff.
