Iran, the United States held talks on the nuclear program for Branan amid the growing Middle East tension

Iran and the United States held talks in Amman on Saturday aimed at negotiations to jump on the Syriac nuclear program in Tehran, where US President Donald Trump threatens military action if there is no deal.

Foreign Secretary Abbas Aragchi led the Iranian delegation, while Trump’s envoy in the Middle East headed Steve Wittouf the American team. The first talks between Iran and the Trump administration, including his first term in 2017-21.

“The indirect talks between Iran and the United States with the mediation of the Omani Foreign Minister started,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghae, on X.

Bajia said that each delegation had its separate room and the exchange of messages through the Foreign Minister in Amman.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry later issued a statement that “indirect talks” lasted more than two and a half hours, and the two parties agreed that the negotiations will continue next week.

The ministry said at the end of the talks on Saturday that the heads of Iranian and American delegations spoke for a few minutes in the presence of Omani Foreign Minister Syed Badr Al -Busadi while they were leaving the talks.

It aims to remove regional tensions

“The current focus of conversations is to remove regional tensions, prisoners’ exchanges and limited agreements to reduce sanctions (against Iran) in exchange for controlling the Iranian nuclear program, “a public source told Reuters.

Baghaei denied this account but did not specify what was wrong.

Oman has always been a mediator between the Western powers and Iran, as they mediated the release of many foreign citizens and the dual citizens kept by the Islamic Republic.

The bombing of the nuclear program

Tehran has approached the talks with caution, and is questioned that it could result in a deal and suspicion in Trump, which has repeatedly threatened to bomb Iran if the escalating uranium enrichment program – which the West sees as a potential nuclear weapons road.

While each side talked about the chances of some progress, they remain away from the conflict that fell for more than two decades. Iran has long denied a request for nuclear weapons, but Western countries and Israel believe that they secretly try to develop means to build a atomic bomb.

At the present time, it seems that Saturday’s exchange will not be indirect, as Iran has sought, instead of face to face, as Trump requested.

Before the talks, Aragchchi met the Foreign Minister Amman in the capital, Muscat, to present the “main points and the main positions that will be transferred to the American side,” according to Iranian government media.

There was no word yet in the talks from the American side.

Signs of progress in calming tensions in an area in an area since 2023 with wars in Gaza and Lebanon can help the missile fire between Iran and Israel, the Houthis attacks on the Red Sea charging and the overthrow of the government in Syria.

However, failure would exacerbate fears of a wider fire across an area that exports a lot of oil in the world. Tehran has warned against neighboring countries that have rules to face “severe consequences” if they are involved in any American military attack on Iran.

“There is an opportunity to understand the initial understanding of more negotiations if the other party (the United States) enters into the talks in an equal situation,” Aragcha told “Iranian television”.

An Iranian official told Reuters that Iran’s supreme leader Ayatullah Ali Khawni, who has the final statement on the main state issues, gave “the full power” of Aragchchi to the talks.

Pastite missile program

Iran has ruled out negotiating its defensive capabilities such as the ballistic missile program.

Western countries say that Iran’s enrichment in uranium, a source of nuclear fuel, has exceeded the requirements of the civil energy program and produced shares at the level of purity of the split near those required in the warheads.

Trump, who has regained a “maximum pressure” campaign on Tehran since February, I got rid of a 2015 nuclear agreement Between Iran and six global powers in 2018 during its first term, and the imposition of sanctions paralyzed on the Islamic Republic.

Provide the nuclear program

Since then, the Iranian nuclear program jumped forward, including enriching uranium to 60 percent of the purity of the chains, a technical step of the bomb necessary.

Israel, the closest ally of the Middle East in Washington, is the Iranian nuclear program as an existential threat and has long threatened to attack Iran if diplomacy fails to reduce its nuclear ambitions.

Tehran’s influence has weakened throughout the Middle East over the past 18 months, with its regional allies-known as the “Axis of Resistance”-either its dismantling or severely affected since the beginning of the Hamas war in Gaza and the fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria in December.
