Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister said Tehran may dilute enriched uranium if all sanctions are lifted, signaling cautious progress in nuclear talks mediated by Oman and Geneva.
- On Sunday, February 15, 2026, Majid Takht-Ravanchi told the BBC that Iran is ready to discuss nuclear compromises if the US discusses lifting sanctions.
- A second round in Geneva follows indirect Oman-mediated contacts earlier this month, with Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner scheduled to attend on Tuesday.
