Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated that Iran is ready to negotiate a peaceful solution to its nuclear program—but only under specific conditions. The central prerequisite is a halt to Israeli military operations against Iran. As long as Israeli airstrikes continue, Iran categorically refuses to engage in direct nuclear talks with the United States. Araghchi has reiterated this position in multiple forums, emphasizing that “negotiations with the U.S. cannot proceed until Israel ceases its military actions”
