Tehran signals willingness to resume diplomacy, while U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff prepares for meetings in Israel and Turkey remains a possible venue
Iran has indicated its readiness to engage in negotiations with the United States, with talks expected to begin in the coming days, according to the Iranian news agency Tasnim. The agency, citing an informed source, did not provide specific details on the location or exact timing of the planned meetings. The discussions are expected to involve Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, with Turkey suggested as a possible venue.
Fars News Agency reported that the talks will focus exclusively on the nuclear issue and were ordered by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
“We are ready for diplomacy, but diplomacy is incompatible with threats, intimidation, and pressure. I hope we will see results soon,” Araghchi said during a speech at the Imam Khomeini Mausoleum in Tehran, marking the anniversary of the revolution. “We have never abandoned diplomacy and have not missed any opportunity to protect the rights of the Iranian people,” he added, emphasizing Tehran’s willingness to engage in dialogue “based on mutual respect to achieve common interests.”
Meanwhile, Witkoff is scheduled to visit Israel tomorrow to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. According to the Times of Israel, Zamir was in Washington over the past weekend for meetings with U.S. Defense officials concerning Iran.
Iran has stated it has not received any ultimatum from the United States to reach a nuclear agreement. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghaei told reporters that Tehran “always acts with honesty and seriousness in diplomatic processes but never accepts ultimatums. Therefore, this claim cannot be confirmed.”
In response to the U.S. designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (Pasdaran) as a terrorist organization, Iran summoned the ambassadors of European countries with diplomatic representation in Tehran. “Yesterday and today, representatives of all EU member states with embassies in Tehran were summoned to the Foreign Ministry,” Baghaei said, describing the move as a “minimal measure” according to the Islamic Republic.
Separately, Iranian authorities have arrested four foreigners for allegedly participating in recent protests that were violently suppressed. State television reported that the individuals were apprehended during a raid on their hideout in the Tehran province, without disclosing their nationalities or the date of the arrests. Authorities also found four improvised stun grenades in one suspect’s bag, reportedly used during the demonstrations.
The announcement comes as Iran signals its willingness to engage in dialogue, highlighting the focus on diplomatic channels and the nuclear issue. Analysts say the upcoming meetings could mark a significant step toward easing tensions between Tehran and Washington.
