Iran Open to Nuclear Program Compromises if US Discusses Sanctions Relief

Iran is willing to consider compromises on its nuclear program with the United States, provided Washington discusses lifting sanctions. This was stated by Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi in an interview with the BBC.

Takht-Ravanchi confirmed that a second round of nuclear talks will take place on Tuesday in Geneva, following discussions between Tehran and Washington in Oman. A US delegation, including Steve Whitkopf and Jared Kushner, will meet with the Iranian side, mediated by representatives from Oman.

The head of the Iranian nuclear program stated that the country could agree to dilute its enriched uranium in exchange for the complete lifting of economic sanctions. Takht-Ravanchi reiterated that Tehran will not accept zero uranium enrichment.
