US, Iran indicate different views on possible nuclear talks NHK

A: Hey buddy, did you catch the news? Seems like Trump's talking about a chat with Iran next week!

B: Oh, really? Any details? I missed that one.

A: Yeah, it's kinda complicated. It looks like they've been at odds since the Israel-Iran clash, but now there's hope for talks again. Trump mentioned this on Wednesday.

B: So, what's the latest? Are the negotiations set?

A: Not yet, buddy! The White House is still in touch with Iran through Qatar, but no meeting has been planned just yet.

B: Hmm... that sounds tricky. What does Iran think about all this?

A: Well, their foreign minister doesn't seem too keen on the idea. He mentioned they don't trust the US after those attacks on their nuclear sites and nothing has been agreed upon yet.

B: So, are they going to talk or not? I'm confused!

A: Seems like it might be a maybe! The sources say the US is considering easing some sanctions and releasing some of Iran's money as a way to get them back at the table. But, Iran wants to continue its nuclear program and won't agree to stop uranium enrichment.

B: Wow, that's intense! I hope they can work it out without any more conflicts... 😔

The White House says it is in communication with Iran on holding more nuclear talks, while the Iranian foreign minister says no agreement has been made on the matter. The question now is whether the two countries will be able to agree on a resumption of talks.



US President Donald Trump on Wednesday mentioned plans to hold US-Iran talks next week, suggesting a resumption of negotiations that had been suspended since the onset of the latest Israel-Iran conflict.



On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters nothing has yet been scheduled, but that the White House continues to be in close communication with the Iranians, with Qatar acting as an intermediary.



Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, speaking in an interview with state television on Thursday, stressed Iran's distrust of the United States, which conducted attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. He said no agreement or promise has been made on negotiations, and no talks have taken place.



CNN quoted sources familiar with the matter as saying the Trump administration has discussed the possibility of easing sanctions on Iran and "freeing up billions of dollars in restricted Iranian funds" in an attempt to bring Teheran back to the negotiating table.



The United States has indicated it will not accept Iran's uranium enrichment, while Iran has stressed its determination to continue its nuclear program.
Summary
