Iran says US stance on its nuclear program has become 'more realistic'

Iranian officials state that the US has adopted a more realistic stance on their nuclear program ahead of new negotiations in Geneva.

On Monday, Iran's government expressed that the United States' approach to its nuclear program has evolved into what they call a 'more realistic' perspective. This statement comes just before a fresh round of negotiations set to commence in Geneva, where both countries aim to address ongoing nuclear concerns. Esmaeil Baghaei, a spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, mentioned that insights gained from previous talks held in Muscat, Oman, indicated a shift in the U.S. stance towards Iranian nuclear issues.

The upcoming negotiations are a continuation of diplomatic efforts that began earlier this year when representatives from both countries met in Muscat, creating what was described by Iran as a 'very positive atmosphere.' However, the negotiations are approached with caution by both sides. The Trump administration has not ruled out the possibility of military action, underscoring the delicate nature of the discussions and the underlying tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear ambitions.

As these conversations unfold in Geneva, the implications of the U.S. 'realist' approach could potentially pave the way for a breakthrough in nuclear negotiations, or conversely, exacerbate existing tensions if there is no consensus. The international community is closely watching these developments, given the historical significance of Iran's nuclear program and its implications for regional and global security.
