Iran Plans Diplomatic Engagement with Trump Amid Nuclear Tensions

Iran is signaling a willingness to engage in dialogue with the United States, despite the reinstatement of President Trump's 'maximum pressure' campaign. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi emphasized that concerns regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions could be resolved, asserting that Iran opposes weapons of mass destruction. Meanwhile, Iranian officials expressed the need for the U.S. to manage its relationship with Israel as a condition for pursuing any deal. The backdrop of these discussions includes rising tensions related to Iran's uranium enrichment activities, which have increased under the current sanctions regime. While some Iranian leaders show openness to negotiations, others remain cautious, highlighting internal divisions about how to approach the U.S. Additionally, Iranian media are framing Trump's foreign aid cuts as an opportunity to strengthen their negotiating position. Overall, the potential for diplomatic engagement remains contingent on both sides addressing key security concerns.
