AI Summary

long article 5 min

An Iranian minister told the BBC in Tehran that Iran is willing to compromise on its nuclear program if the U.S. is willing to lift sanctions. This statement comes amidst stalled negotiations and accusations from U.S. officials that Iran is hindering progress. Indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran have occurred in Oman and are scheduled to continue in Geneva. Iran has offered to dilute its 60%-enriched uranium, a point of concern for the U.S., in exchange for sanctions relief. While the deputy foreign minister confirmed Iran is open to discussing its nuclear program, he did not specify whether Iran expects all or only some sanctions to be lifted.
