Iran-US talks. Tehran only wants to talk about the nuclear program
Both sides assured their readiness to resume negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program, which raises concerns in the West. However, Washington wanted to expand the topic of talks to include Iran's ballistic missile program, Iran's support for armed groups in the region such as Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the Houthis in Yemen, as well as the treatment of its own citizens by the Iranian authorities.
Iranian officials have repeatedly said they will not discuss Iranian missiles. They also emphasized that they wanted recognition of the fact that Iran has the right to enrich uranium.
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened Iran with military intervention in recent weeks. The United States has strengthened its military presence in the Middle East, and Iran announced that in the event of aggression it would respond by attacking American military installations in the region.
