Iran Open to Nuclear Talks if Western Powers Show

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei reiterated on Thursday that Tehran is open to discussions about its nuclear programme, provided Western nations show "seriousness" in their approach.

Key Points:

·       Conditional Talks:
"We have said several times that we are ready for discussions, but only if the other side is serious about this," Baqaei emphasized.

·       Tehran's Stance:
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi recently stated that the US must "win back Tehran’s trust" to pave the way for meaningful negotiations.

·       Past Challenges:
The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) saw Iran curbing its nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. However, the deal faltered after former US President Donald Trump withdrew in 2018, imposing a "maximum pressure" campaign.

·       Iran's Warning:
Baqaei cautioned that any reimposition of sanctions could render Iran's adherence to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) meaningless.

·       European Diplomacy:
Recent talks between Iran and European counterparts from Britain, France, and Germany were described as "frank and constructive."

·       Stockpile Concerns:
Western governments have accused Tehran of amassing highly enriched uranium to unprecedented levels without a credible civilian purpose.

Looking Forward:

As diplomatic efforts to revive the JCPOA continue, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian remains hopeful for an end to the nation's isolation. The international community watches closely as Iran and Western nations navigate this high-stakes negotiation landscape.
