Iran Offers Compromise on Nuclear Deal If US Lifts Sanctions

Iran has signalled a conditional willingness to compromise in nuclear negotiations, telling mediators and international journalists it would discuss limits on its nuclear activities if the United States offers sanctions relief.

“Tehran accuses Washington and Tel Aviv of fabricating pretexts for military action, warns it will retaliate against any attack, and says it will only limit its nuclear program if Western economic sanctions are lifted”

Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht‑Ravanchi (also referred to in some reports as Ali Bagheri Kani) repeatedly framed the choice as dependent on U.S. action, saying "the ball … in America’s court."

He described earlier Oman‑mediated contacts as at least partly positive while preparing for a second round in Geneva.

Multiple outlets quote Iranian officials insisting Tehran is not seeking nuclear weapons but is open to diplomatic steps if sanctions are seriously addressed.

Several outlets say Tehran offered to dilute or temporarily suspend enrichment of uranium at about 60% purity and to consider sending low-enriched material abroad, with Russia mentioned as a possible recipient.

Iranian officials and state representatives reject demands for "zero enrichment."

They refuse to make their ballistic-missile programme part of the nuclear talks and insist any deal must include sanctions relief.

Diplomatic channels are active but politically fraught.

“Iran says it wants diplomacy but remains cautious and on alert after an unexpected Israeli strike last June and what it describes as slow, inconsistent progress in last year’s indirect U”

Reports say a first round of indirect talks occurred in Oman and were 'more or less positive,' and delegations were preparing for a second mediator-led round in Geneva.

Coverage identifies U.S. envoys including Steve Witkoff, and in some reports Jared Kushner, as part of the American team.

Coverage notes at least one round involved a senior U.S. military commander in the region, details that different outlets emphasise to varying degrees.

Diplomatic offers are unfolding against a pronounced military and economic pressure campaign.

Reports describe U.S. steps to curb Iranian oil exports, coordinated measures with Israel, new tariffs signalling economic pressure, and an increased U.S. naval and carrier presence in the region.

Some outlets say U.S. planners are drawing up contingency plans for strikes that could last weeks.

Iranian officials warned that military escalation would be 'traumatic' and said Iran would respond if threatened.

These developments underscore how fragile negotiations remain.

Domestic and regional politics shape Iran's negotiating posture.

Coverage repeatedly notes Tehran's refusal to link nuclear talks to its ballistic-missile programme or to broader regional activity.

Coverage also flags that the talks occur amid a harsh domestic crackdown that critics say undermines Tehran's diplomatic standing.

Rights-group concerns and reports of violent suppression of protests appear across multiple outlets.

Analysts cited by some sources warn that verification, scope, and U.S. domestic politics will complicate any deal even if Iran shows tactical flexibility.
