Iran, US to hold nuclear talks on Friday, some regional countries to participate: Report

Iran signals readiness to negotiate nuclear issues without preconditions, aiming for sanctions relief and regional de-escalation as U.S. warships build up nearby, officials said.

  • Iran and the United States will resume nuclear talks in Turkey this week, with Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE attending, as Esmaeil Baghaei said Tehran hopes for results in the coming days.
  • Amid rising tension, a U.S. Navy buildup near Iran and last month's violent anti-government demonstrations have increased urgency, with Tehran saying enrichment stopped after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites in June 2025.
  • Iran is prepared to offer handing over 400 kg of highly enriched uranium or zero enrichment under a consortium, while Steve Witkoff, U.S. Special Envoy, and Abbas Araghchi, Iranian Foreign Minister, could meet in Turkey with bilateral and trilateral meeting formats expected.
  • This week, Turkish officials said refocusing on diplomacy offers a potential reprieve from U.S. strikes, while Tehran demands U.S. military assets move away to start talks and both sides signal readiness to revive diplomacy.
  • Despite diplomatic moves, satellite imagery shows repair work at Isfahan and Natanz as the U.N. nuclear watchdog presses Iran on HEU stock, with unresolved verification challenges.
