Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Sunday that recent
nuclear negotiations with the United States have produced
“encouraging signals,” while cautioning that Tehran is prepared for
any scenario ahead of another round of talks scheduled for
Thursday, AzerNEWS reports.
Pezeshkian’s remarks come amid growing concerns of a military
escalation, as the US increases its military presence in the Gulf
and President Donald Trump warns of “really bad things” if a deal
on Iran’s nuclear program is not reached.
“Iran is committed to peace and stability in the region,”
Pezeshkian wrote on X. “Recent negotiations involved the exchange
of practical proposals and yielded encouraging signals. However, we
continue to closely monitor US actions and have made all necessary
preparations for any potential scenario.”
The cautious optimism follows confirmation from Oman’s Foreign
Minister Badr al-Busaidi of a third round of indirect talks in
Geneva, Switzerland. “Pleased to confirm US-Iran negotiations are
now set for Geneva this Thursday, with a positive push to go the
extra mile towards finalising the deal,” al-Busaidi said, acting as
a mediator between Washington and Tehran.
Iran and the US resumed nuclear talks in Oman earlier this
month, followed by a second round in Geneva last week. While both
sides described the discussions as generally positive, no
breakthrough was achieved.
