Mon Mar 10 07:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Iran Open to US Nuclear Talks, But With Conditions
**Tehran, March 10, 2025** – Iran has indicated a willingness to engage in negotiations with the United States, but only under specific conditions. In a statement released Sunday, Iran’s UN mission clarified that talks would only be considered if they focus solely on addressing concerns regarding the potential militarization of its nuclear program.
This announcement follows contradictory statements from Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who initially rejected negotiations with the U.S., citing concerns that discussions would extend to Iran’s missile program and regional influence. Khamenei’s rejection came in response to a letter from U.S. President Donald Trump, who proposed a new deal to curb Iran’s nuclear advancements.
Iran emphasized that it would not negotiate the dismantlement of its peaceful nuclear program, a point repeatedly stressed by Iranian officials. The statement explicitly rejected any attempt to achieve what it claims was previously unattainable by the Obama administration.
This development comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the U.S., exacerbated by U.S. sanctions and Israel’s ongoing conflict with Hamas. Both the U.S. and Israel have declared that they will never allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, raising fears of a potential military confrontation as Iran continues uranium enrichment at levels approaching weapons-grade. The limited scope of Iran’s offer to negotiate suggests a significant hurdle remains before any meaningful dialogue can occur.
