Iran Ready for Compromises on Nuclear Program if Sanctions Relief Discussed – 'The Ball is in the American Court'

Iran states it is willing to compromise on its nuclear program, provided the United States agrees to discuss lifting sanctions. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi stated that the ball is in the American court and that Iran is ready to find an agreement if the US is sincere in its intentions. Takht-Ravanchi noted that it is too early to say what will happen during negotiations regarding the possible shipment of Iran's enriched uranium to other countries. He also reiterated Tehran's position that the country's missile program is non-negotiable, emphasizing its importance for the country's defense. The Iranian official dismissed accusations that Iran is seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, despite having enriched uranium to levels that raise concerns. Furthermore, Iran has restricted access for international inspectors to its nuclear facilities and has expanded its capabilities in ballistic missiles. The article mentions that Iran denies seeking the destruction of Israel, but its leaders have expressed such views in the past. The negotiation of Iran's nuclear program remains a complex issue with significant geopolitical implications.
