BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 2. Iran is reviewing
the details of restarting discussions with the United States, the
country’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said, Trend reports.


Speaking during a press conference in Tehran, Baghaei noted that
various assessments are being conducted regarding the format of the
talks. According to him, countries in the region with genuine
concerns about the current situation are striving to play a
constructive role, while some European Union member states have
taken steps that increase regional tensions.


“The regional countries are acting as intermediaries to convey
messages. In this framework, a number of issues have been
communicated, and Iran is now at the stage of making decisions on
the details of the diplomatic process. We hope to see results in
the coming days,” he added.


Baghaei made it clear that the talks will revolve around Iran’s
nuclear program.


“This issue has long been used as a tool for applying pressure
and sanctions. Iran seeks the lifting of sanctions as its natural
right in exchange for resolving concerns and building trust
regarding the nature of its nuclear program,” he said.


On April 12, 19, and 26 and May 11 and 23, 2025, five rounds of
indirect talks between Iran and the US on Iran's nuclear program
took place. The indirect talks were organized through the mediation
of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Sultanate of Oman, Sayyid
Badr Hamad Al Busaidi, and were conducted by an Iranian delegation
led by Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi and a U.S. delegation
led by U.S. Special Representative for the Middle East Steve
Witkoff. The first, third, and fourth rounds of talks took place in
Muscat, the capital of Oman, and the second and fifth rounds took
place in Rome, the capital of Italy.


On the morning of June 13, 2025, Israel launched air strikes
against Iran. The strikes killed a large number of high-ranking
military officials, generals, nuclear scientists, and other senior
officials.


On the same evening, Iran responded to Israel with Operation
True Promise III, launching hundreds of ballistic missiles and
drones at several targets, including Tel Aviv, resulting in
civilian casualties and widespread destruction.


On June 22, the U.S. launched military airstrikes on three
Iranian nuclear sites. The airstrikes reportedly destroyed the
Iranian nuclear facilities.
