Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov extended Moscow’s support for the ongoing indirect nuclear talks between the United States and Iran, offering to mediate or assist in any way that would be beneficial to Tehran and acceptable to Washington.
“We are prepared to help, mediate, and take on any role that Iran finds useful and that the United States is willing to accept,” Lavrov stated during a news conference following talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in Moscow. This marks Russia’s continued involvement in the diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the longstanding issues surrounding Iran’s nuclear program.
In his remarks, Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi acknowledged the level of seriousness demonstrated by the United States during the first round of talks, which took place last weekend in Oman. However, he reiterated that direct negotiations between Tehran and Washington remain unfeasible due to ongoing US sanctions and its “maximum pressure” policy.
“During the first round of negotiations, we observed a certain degree of seriousness in the other side’s intentions, as well as a willingness to focus exclusively on the nuclear issue. This may open the door to constructive dialogue,” Araqchi noted.
He also emphasized Iran's commitment to a diplomatic solution, stating that while direct talks are not possible at this time, the path for indirect negotiations remains open. “Indirect negotiations are not something difficult or surprising, and it is possible to reach agreements,” Araqchi added.
The US unilaterally withdrew from the 2015 nuclear agreement under President Donald Trump, which had imposed limits on Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. A second round of talks is scheduled for this Saturday in Rome, with hopes of advancing the discussions toward a potential resolution.
