Iran has confirmed receiving messages from the USA for the resumption of nuclear negotiations, but excludes direct negotiations, citing impossible conditions.

Iran has confirmed that it has received messages from the United States regarding the resumption of nuclear negotiations, which have been stalled since the 12-day war with Israel in June 2025. The Iranian government spokesperson stated that the details of the messages will be communicated in due time. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi ruled out direct negotiations with the U.S., mentioning that Iran is open to indirect discussions to address concerns related to its nuclear program, but accuses Washington of imposing unacceptable conditions, such as the demand for "zero enrichment" of uranium. Araqchi emphasized that Iran will never negotiate its missile program. The recent war has led to significant loss of life and complicated diplomatic efforts, and European powers continue to encourage Iran to return to the negotiating table.
