US EditionIran Seeks More Nuclear Talks with US but Keeps Missile Program Off Limits
Iran insists its ballistic missile program is non-negotiable while both sides agree to continue nuclear talks following a 12-day war and US sanctions, officials said.
- On Friday in Muscat, Oman, the US delegation led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held indirect talks with Iran, agreeing to continue negotiations after last year’s collapse.
- Iran repeatedly says it rejects expanding talks beyond nuclear issues and demands recognition of nuclear enrichment plus sanctions relief and removal of US military assets.
- Following the Muscat meetings, Araghchi called the talks `a good start` while US envoys visited the USS Abraham Lincoln and announced new US oil and shipping sanctions.
- The security stakes are heightened as Araghchi warned Iran would target US bases in the region if attacked, and Netanyahu plans to raise missile issues with Trump next week.
- Washington has sought to expand discussions to cover Iran’s ballistic missiles and support for armed groups, while the US imposed a 25% tariff to deter trade amid Iran’s $18 billion imports and $14.5 billion exports with China in 2024.
