Tehran is reportedly prepared to offer guarantees that its nuclear program is peaceful, seeking sanctions relief in return.
Iran's top diplomat, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, conveyed this willingness during indirect discussions with US envoy Steve Witkoff in Muscat, Oman, marking the first diplomatic engagement between Washington and Tehran in several years. The talks focused on Iran's nuclear program and the possibility of easing US sanctions.
As reported by the Tehran Times, Araghchi expressed that Iran aims for a “win-win agreement” and “would not, under any circumstances, agree to dismantle its nuclear program." However, he noted that the nation is “willing to take steps to provide assurances against the militarization of its nuclear activities.” This may involve allowing the International Atomic Energy Agency to access Iran’s nuclear sites.
In exchange, Tehran seeks the removal of US sanctions across various sectors, ensuring that these sanctions cannot be reinstated under different pretexts, according to the Tehran Times.
The publication added that Witkoff recognized the need for the US to make concessions. During the discussions, he reportedly did not mention the possible dismantling of Iran's nuclear program or the original Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action from which US President Donald Trump withdrew in 2018.
In a Monday interview with Fox News, Witkoff refrained from calling for the dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program, despite the demands from other US officials, including White House National Security Adviser Mike Waltz.
“The conversation with the Iranians will be much about two critical points,” Witkoff said. He emphasized the importance of verifying uranium enrichment and “ultimately verification on weaponization, that includes missiles, type of missiles that they have stockpiled there, and it includes the trigger for a bomb.”
Meanwhile, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has asserted that discussions regarding Iran's military capabilities are off the table. “National security and defense, and military power are among the red lines of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which cannot be discussed or negotiated under any circumstances,” IRGC spokesman Ali Mohammad Naini stated on Tuesday, according to various media sources.
The next round of talks between Iran and the US is anticipated to occur on April 19.
