IRNA Clarifies Deputy FM's Nuclear Remarks Refer to Past US Negotiations Amid Tensions

Iran's state news agency IRNA clarified that Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi's remarks about abandoning Iran's nuclear programme referred to earlier diplomatic talks with the United States, not a new offer. Takht-Ravanchi had stated Iran would consider abandoning its nuclear activities if the US presented a satisfactory alternative. This clarification comes amid escalating tensions and ongoing US-Israel military operations targeting Iran, including reported strikes that killed senior Iranian leaders.
