In early February 2026, Iran indicated potential progress towards renewed nuclear talks with the United States. Tehran stated it is considering regional proposals aimed at de-escalating tensions with Washington and anticipates a framework for discussions soon. This development follows a period of heightened tensions, including US military deployments and calls from President Trump for a deal on Iran's nuclear program. Indirect negotiations are reportedly underway, with regional countries mediating the exchange of messages. Iranian officials have been in contact with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkiye regarding these developments, and unconfirmed reports suggest the Iranian president has ordered the resumption of nuclear talks.
