The first round of indirect talks between the United States and Iran was held in Oman, and the second round has now begun.
Official Iranian media highlighted Tehran’s key demands during its negotiations with Washington, which started with the first round in Muscat.
Iranian state news agency IRNA reported that “the positions of Iranian officials show that Tehran entered this round with a clear, results-focused agenda,” emphasizing “negotiations primarily centered on the nuclear file and the lifting of sanctions.”
The agency added that “Iran’s main demands in the Muscat talks are the effective and verifiable removal of economic and financial sanctions.”
It quoted Iranian officials as saying that “any agreement without tangible economic effects would have no practical value from Iran’s perspective, making both the timing and outcomes of the negotiations particularly important for Tehran.”
IRNA also reaffirmed “Iran’s legal right to enrich uranium on its own soil,” describing it as “a red line in the negotiations.”
The agency stressed that “any potential technical measures can only be discussed within the framework of acknowledging this right, and any preconditions outside this framework signal bad faith on the other side,” in an apparent reference to Washington.
The first round of nuclear negotiations with the United States took place previously in Muscat.
The talks are taking place amid concerns that U.S. President Donald Trump might follow through on his threats of military strikes against Iran, alongside a massive U.S. military buildup in the region.
