Iran is seeking a “real and fair” agreement with the United States on its nuclear program, a senior aide to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Friday, ahead of talks over the weekend<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

“Far from putting up a show and merely talking in front of the cameras, Tehran is seeking a real and fair agreement, important and implementable proposals are ready,” Khamenei adviser Ali Shamkhani said in a post on X.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The talks between the longtime adversaries are set to take place on Saturday in Oman, aimed at reaching a deal on Tehran’s nuclear program. President Trump has said they will be “direct talks,” while Iran’s foreign minister referred to them as “indirect high-level talks” through a mediator.<\/p>\n

President Trump sent a letter to Khamenei last month urging negotiations, warning of possible military action if Iran refuses. In the lead-up to the talks this week, Mr. Trump reiterated his warning that military action was “absolutely” possible if talks failed.<\/p>\n

Iran responded by saying it could expel U.N. nuclear inspectors, prompting another U.S. warning that such action would be an “escalation.”<\/p>\n

Iran has consistently denied that it is trying to acquire nuclear weapons and has said for decades that its program is peaceful. Its officials, though, have increasingly threatened to pursue a nuclear weapon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed that the country has not started a weapons program, but that it has “undertaken activities that better position it to produce a nuclear device, if it chooses to do so,” The Associated Press reported.<\/p>\n

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff will meet with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Oman, which has played a mediating role. Witkoff visited Russia on Friday for talks on Ukraine with Russian President Vladimir Putin, an ally of Iran.<\/p>\n
