Vance: There Are No “Red Lines” in Negotiations With Iran
WANA – J.D. Vance
WANA (Feb 09) – The Vice President of the United States has said that Washington has set no “red lines” in its negotiations with Iran, stressing that the main objective of the U.S. administration is to reach a “workable” agreement.
According to Al Jazeera, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, speaking on Monday evening during an official visit to Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, claimed: “There are no red lines in negotiations with Iran, and President Donald Trump is seeking an agreement that can be implemented and sustained.” He added that reaching a deal with Iran would be “in the interest of all parties.”
Vance’s remarks come amid renewed international attention to the future of Tehran–Washington relations and the prospects for reviving diplomatic channels between the two sides.
In this context, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi had earlier emphasized Tehran’s serious approach to diplomacy. Speaking on Monday, he said that Iran is committed to meaningful talks aimed at achieving concrete results, noting: “We are very serious in negotiations and are seeking real talks that lead to outcomes, provided that the other side also demonstrates seriousness and readiness for result-oriented negotiations.”
Pezeshkian: Iran Will Only Accept Equal, Win-Win Negotiations
WANA (Feb 09) – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stressed that Tehran will only accept negotiations conducted on an equal footing and based on the win-win principle, saying the Islamic Republic is ready to expand cooperation with countries that respect national sovereignty, international law, and mutual commitments.
Speaking on Monday evening, February 9, at a meeting with foreign ambassadors resident in Tehran, President Pezeshkian described Iran’s foreign policy as grounded in mutual respect, shared interests, and dignified engagement. He said Iran welcomes and accepts any negotiations that are based on international law, the preservation of national sovereignty, and the win-win principle.
Referring to ongoing diplomatic developments, Pezeshkian described the new round of nuclear talks in Oman as an important opportunity to reach a fair, rational, and mutually acceptable solution. He emphasized that Iran seeks guarantees for its lawful rights under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), including its right to enrichment, as well as the removal of what he called “unjust and illegal” sanctions.
The president underlined that Tehran will remain committed to its obligations, provided that the other parties also demonstrate practical good faith, refrain from excessive demands, and show genuine adherence to their own commitments. He described Iran’s message to the international community as “clear and transparent,” adding that the Islamic Republic is a reliable partner within the framework of reciprocal obligations.
Highlighting his administration’s regional approach, Pezeshkian said expanding relations with neighboring countries, Muslim nations, and actors aligned with multilateralism is a top priority of Iran’s foreign policy. He noted that Iran’s broad capacities in areas such as the economy, transportation, energy, and the knowledge-based sector provide a solid foundation for bilateral and multilateral cooperation.
Pezeshkian also emphasized strengthening ties with emerging powers and countries that support an international order based on law and mutual respect, stating that Iran welcomes any initiative that contributes to regional stability, economic development, and constructive cooperation among nations.
In conclusion, he said his government’s foreign policy is based on dialogue, de-escalation, and balanced relations, adding that Iran is ready to pursue a path of sustainable engagement with all countries seeking sincere and equal cooperation.
Eslami: Enriched Uranium Removal Was Never on the Negotiating Agenda
WANA (Feb 09) – Iran’s Vice President and Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) has dismissed speculation about the possible removal of enriched uranium from the country, stressing that such an issue has never been on the agenda of negotiations and has not been discussed in the talks held so far.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, February 9, Mohammad Eslami said claims about transferring enriched uranium abroad are largely driven by various pressure groups and actors targeting the Islamic Republic of Iran. He added that even if, at some point, an individual or a country had raised such an idea as a proposal they believed might be helpful, it was never taken up or discussed in negotiations.

Israeli Channel Claims U.S. Sent Message to Iran Seeking Concessions in Next Talks
WANA (Feb 09) – Amid renewed diplomatic activity and heightened media speculation, Israel’s Channel 15 has claimed that the United States has sent a non-public message to Iran requesting concessions in the next round of negotiations. The claim comes as Israeli media intensify coverage of Iran–U.S. talks ahead of an expected visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington.
According to the report, Washington has emphasized in its message that it expects Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, and his delegation to attend the upcoming meeting with what it described as “serious and meaningful content.” Channel 15 did not clarify what this phrase entails, but cited unnamed U.S. officials as saying that the United States is anticipating concessions from Tehran on various issues in the next round of talks.
The report contrasts with Iran’s publicly stated position. Araghchi has previously stressed that the scope of negotiations is strictly limited to the nuclear issue, and that other matters are not open for discussion. He has also reiterated that zero-percent uranium enrichment is not acceptable to Iran, describing it as a non-negotiable red line.
The first round of indirect talks between Iran and the United States was held on Friday, February 6, in Muscat, the capital of Oman. The parties agreed that the date of the next round would be announced after consultations in their respective capitals and in coordination with Oman’s foreign minister. So far, neither Iranian nor U.S. officials have commented on the claim made by the Israeli broadcaster.
Meanwhile, Israeli sources report that Netanyahu has decided to accelerate his trip to Washington. Although the visit had initially been planned for at least two weeks later, Israeli media say the prime minister is now eager to urgently convey Israel’s conditions and concerns to U.S. officials regarding any potential agreement with Iran—an apparent sign of growing unease in Tel Aviv over the trajectory of the negotiations.
