US-Iran ready to talk: Nuclear Program up for discussion; missiles program reserved by Tehran

The U.S. and Iran have reportedly informed each other that they are ready to conduct negotiations on an agreement to end tensions between them, as Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held top-level meetings on the situation. The Times of Israel reported citing a senior American official talking to the Axios news site on February 1 that U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has made it clear it is open to holding such talks as soon as this week. According to the report, Turkey, Egypt and Qatar are working to organize a meeting this week between White House special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian officials in Ankara, Turkey’s capital.
U.S. officials told the news site that Trump’s comments calling for a deal are genuine and not a trick ahead of a military operation. The U.S. has built up its forces in the Middle East recently, which Trump characterized as a “massive armada.” Amid last year’s 12-day war between Israel and Iran which began with a surprise Israeli strike an Israeli official revealed that the messaging issued by the U.S. ahead of the attack, seemingly downplaying the probability of a strike, had been part of a deliberate deception campaign. Meanwhile, speaking to reporters on February 1, Trump touted the possibility of negotiations. He was responding to a warning earlier in the day from Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, that an attack from Washington could spark a regional war.
Speaking on CNN on February 1, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he believes his country can reach an agreement with the United States on Iran’s nuclear program. The Times of Israel also reported that Iran has consistently denied seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. However, it enriched uranium to levels that have no peaceful application, obstructed international inspectors from checking its nuclear facilities, and expanded its ballistic missile capabilities. Araghchi stressed that talks must be focused on Iran’s nuclear program and not on curbing its ballistic missile program or support for proxy terror groups.
