Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has stated that Iran is willing to engage in negotiations with the United States, but only under conditions free from "threats and unreasonable expectations."
The announcement came on Tuesday following what Pezeshkian described as requests from "friendly governments in the region" to respond to a U.S. proposal for dialogue. He instructed Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to pursue "fair and equitable negotiations" strictly within the framework of Iran's national interests.
This diplomatic opening follows renewed threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, who recently warned of a "massive war fleet" moving toward Iran unless the country agrees to a nuclear deal. Last week, Trump reiterated his intent to intervene over Iran's nuclear program and its domestic crackdown on protesters.
Tensions have been high since June 2025, when the U.S. conducted airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites. While Trump claimed the attacks "obliterated" Iran's nuclear program, Tehran dismissed the assessment. The current status and location of Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium remain publicly unclear.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has previously warned that any attack on Iran would trigger a broader regional conflict.
Reports indicate that talks between the two nations are scheduled to take place in Istanbul on Friday.
