Iran's president strikes softer tone on nuclear talks after Trump's warning that 'bad things would happen'
Iran says ‘good progress’ made in nuclear talks with US in Geneva
AI Summary
Following a warning from former President Trump about potential consequences if a deal isn't reached, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has signaled a willingness to negotiate on Iran's nuclear program. Pezeshkian stated that he instructed his Foreign Minister to pursue negotiations, provided a suitable environment free from threats exists. This shift comes after Pezeshkian accused Trump of provoking unrest in Iran. The U.S. envoy is reportedly scheduled to meet with the Iranian Foreign Minister in Istanbul, although Iran prefers Oman as the location for discussions. Despite Pezeshkian's softened tone, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei maintains a hardline stance, accusing the U.S. of wanting to "devour Iran" and orchestrating recent unrest with Zionists.
