President Pezeshkian Open to Negotiations Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said the country is ready to negotiate with the United States after requests from friendly regional governments. He instructed Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to pursue talks, but only if conditions are suitable—free from threats and unreasonable demands. Supreme Leader Warns Against Attack This announcement follows a warning from Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He stated that any attack on Iran could trigger a "regional war." The US has built up forces in the area and warned of military action if Iran does not reach a nuclear deal or stop suppressing protests. Conditions for Negotiations Pezeshkian emphasized that any talks must be "fair and equitable" and protect Iran’s national interests. Reports suggest discussions could take place in Istanbul this Friday. Araghchi is expected to meet US envoy Steve Witkoff. Egypt, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE may also join the talks. US and Iranian Positions Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful and denies seeking nuclear weapons. Araghchi expressed confidence in reaching a deal to prevent nuclear armament. On the US side, President Trump said he is open to negotiations but warned failure could lead to serious consequences. The US military deployment includes the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and three destroyers equipped with Tomahawk missiles. Regional Diplomacy Efforts Middle Eastern leaders are calling for diplomacy to prevent conflict. UAE adviser Anwar Gargash urged direct talks to avoid repeated crises. Qatar noted ongoing diplomatic efforts in coordination with neighboring countries. Past Conflicts and Current Risks Tensions follow last year’s US and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks against Israel and a US base in Qatar. Trump demanded Iran end uranium enrichment, limit its missile program, and stop supporting armed groups. Iran insists on its right to uranium enrichment but is willing to show flexibility under certain arrangements. Domestic Unrest and Human Rights Concerns Iran has faced widespread protests over economic hardship and political grievances. US and human rights groups report thousands of deaths. Iranian authorities report lower numbers, citing security forces and bystander casualties. Khamenei described the unrest as external sedition intended to destabilize Iran.
