Iran opens the door to diplomacy: restart of the nuclear discussions with the USA!

Vienna, Österreich - Iran has signaled his willingness to resume discussions with the USA about his controversial nuclear program. Vice Secretary of State Majid Takht-Ravanchi emphasizes the importance of diplomacy and asks the United States to convince Tehran not to use military violence during negotiations. There is speculation about possible meetings between the US specialist Steve Witkoff and Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Oslo, but there is no official confirmation so far. This openness to diplomacy comes in a tense time after the negotiations on the nuclear program had been revived before the Israeli attacks on June 13th.

From April to June, five meetings took place before a planned further appointment had to be canceled due to the Israeli military campaigns. Israel justifies his attacks on Iran with its nuclear and rocket program and the impending threat to the country's existence. Tehran reacted to the attacks with rockets and drones and has initially exposed his cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This institution controls uranium enrichment, which is of great importance for international peace.

ceasefire and air traffic

On June 24, a ceasefire came into force. As a result, the airports in Tehran resume their business, with flights that are carried out during the day between 5:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Tehraner. However, the airports in Tabris and Isfahan remain closed for the time being. This is a clear relaxation in view of reports on the Israeli attacks that also affected three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordo, Isfahan and Natans on June 22nd.

The IAEA had previously emphasized the need to gain access to the nuclear systems in order to check the stocks of the enriched uranium. Parliament President Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf described the IAEA as inadequate in its commitment to the security of Iranian nuclear systems and criticized the failure of the authority to condemn the US attacks on these institutions.

international reactions and the way to diplomacy

The situation increasingly attracts international attention. EU foreign commissioner Kaja Kallas and other European politicians are calling for restraint and the need for negotiations to avoid further escalation. Kallas confirmed that Iran should not have any nuclear weapons. Austria's president and Federal Chancellor were concerned about the situation and also called for diplomatic solutions.

International leader, including the British Prime Minister Keir Strander and UN General Secretary Antonio Guterres, have expressed their concerns about the military conflicts. Guterres emphasizes that there can be no military solution and diplomacy is the only way. US President Donald Trump spoke of "fully destroyed" Iranian nuclear facilities, which further fuel the tensions worldwide.

Iranian President Massud Peseschkian made it clear that Iran did not strive for weapons of nuclear weapons, but wanted to claim his right to peaceful use of nuclear use. Despite the ceasefire, the situation in the Middle East remains tense, and the risk of comprehensive military escalation is still present. The conflict in the Gaza Strip also puts the region under pressure, while growth and stability in Middle East remain fragile.
