Iran offers nuclear talks: US talks hinge on Israel halting attacks

Iran has expressed readiness to resume nuclear negotiations with the United States, contingent upon Israel ceasing its military attacks, according to officials familiar with the situation.

Oman and Qatar are spearheading efforts to initiate ceasefire talks in the region, aiming to de-escalate tensions that have complicated diplomatic progress.

"We never left the negotiating table, but no negotiations while we are under fire," a Tehran official stated, underscoring Iran's stance that dialogue cannot proceed amid ongoing hostilities.

This position highlights the intertwined nature of regional security issues and nuclear diplomacy, with Iran linking the resumption of talks directly to a halt in Israeli military actions.

The developments come as mediators push for a ceasefire, reflecting the urgency to stabilize the region and revive stalled nuclear discussions.

Oman and Qatar were leading efforts to begin ceasefire talks, while mediators said Iran was open to resuming nuclear negotiations if Israel’s attacks stop.

The situation remains fluid, with Iran's conditional approach signaling both a willingness to engage diplomatically and a firm demand for security assurances before talks can proceed.
