Iran’s President Orders Conditional Review of Nuclear Talks With the United States
WANA (Feb 03) – Iran’s president has announced a conditional directive to explore the possibility of nuclear negotiations with the United States, stressing that any talks would depend on clearly defined political and diplomatic conditions.
In a message published on the social media platform X, President Masoud Pezeshkian said the decision was taken in response to requests from several friendly governments in the region and following a proposal by the U.S. president to initiate negotiations. He stated that Iran’s foreign minister has been instructed to assess the feasibility of talks “only if an appropriate environment exists—free from threats and unrealistic demands.”
Pezeshkian emphasized that any potential negotiations must be fair and balanced, conducted strictly within the framework of Iran’s national interests. He added that such engagement would be guided by the principles of “dignity, wisdom, and expediency,” terms commonly used in Iran’s official foreign policy discourse to define acceptable boundaries for diplomacy.
The statement comes as Iran’s nuclear program remains a central source of tension between Tehran and Washington, while several regional actors continue diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalation. By underlining the conditional nature of any dialogue, the Iranian president signaled a cautious approach, linking the prospect of talks to changes in tone and behavior from the U.S. side rather than signaling an unconditional return to negotiations.
