The President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, has ordered the opening of negotiations with the United States, according to the Fars news agency. The discussions, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, Oman, and Turkey, are scheduled for February 6 in Turkey. Sources close to the matter indicate that the negotiations will involve high-ranking representatives, such as Steve Witkoff from the US and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Pressure on Iran has recently increased due to the violent repression of internal protests. The spokesperson for Iranian diplomacy mentioned that countries in the region are acting as mediators and that the details of the diplomatic process are being finalized. The West accuses Iran of nuclear intentions, which is denied by Tehran, which claims its right to a civilian nuclear program under the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Previous negotiations have stalled due to issues related to uranium enrichment.
