Iran Shows Openness to Nuclear Negotiations as Trump Prepares for Office

Tehran signals willingness to discuss its nuclear program with the IAEA amid concerns over potential U.S. sanctions.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi express readiness to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to clarify doubts about Iran's nuclear activities.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi visited Iran's Fordo and Natanz nuclear sites to assess the country's uranium enrichment, which has reached levels close to weapons-grade.
Grossi warned that the window for diplomatic solutions is closing, urging Iran to provide tangible results to avoid further conflict.
European countries, including France, Germany, and the UK, are pushing for a resolution at the upcoming IAEA Board of Governors meeting to increase pressure on Iran.
With President-elect Donald Trump set to take office in January, there is uncertainty about whether he will reinstate the 'maximum pressure' campaign against Iran, which previously led to increased uranium enrichment by Tehran.
