Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said nuclear talks with United States have “yielded encouraging signals” stressing Iran’s readiness “for any potential scenario”.
He said in a message posted on X late on Sunday that Iran remained committed to peace and stability in the region, adding that recent negotiations had included the exchange of practical proposals and shown encouraging signs.
He added that Iran was closely monitoring U.S. actions and had made all necessary preparations for any potential scenario, referring to the U.S. military build-up in the region.
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iranians would not give in to U.S. pressure and threats.
“Curious to know why we do not capitulate? Because we are Iranian,” he wrote on X.
He was responding to remarks attributed to U.S. President Donald Trump by his Middle East envoy and nuclear negotiator, Steve Witkoff, questioning why Iran had not “capitulated” despite the military build-up surrounding it.
While Iran and the U.S. have reiterated their positions during renewed indirect negotiations, with no clear prospect of a breakthrough, Araghchi discussed the latest developments concerning the upcoming round of nuclear talks with his Omani counterpart.
Iran’s top diplomat held a telephone conversation with Oman’s Foreign Minister, Badr al-Busaidi, late on Sunday after the Omani mediator confirmed that the next round of Iran–U.S. nuclear negotiations would be held in Geneva on Thursday.
“They exchanged views on the latest status of indirect talks between Iran and the U.S. and discussed arrangements for holding the third round of the renewed nuclear negotiations,” according to a Foreign Ministry statement.
In an interview with CBS News aired on Sunday, Araghchi said Tehran and Washington could reach a deal superior to the 2015 nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
He added that Tehran was preparing a draft agreement, which he hoped would be ready for discussion when Iranian and U.S. negotiators meet again on Thursday.
