Iran's Ultimatum: Sanctions Clarity Demanded in Nuclear Talks

Iran Demands U.S. Clarity on Sanctions Amid Nuclear Talks Tehran, Iran – June 2, 2025 – Tensions remain high in the ongoing Iran nuclear talks, with Iran demanding greater clarity from the United States regarding sanctions relief. Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, stated, "What is important for us in this equation is ensuring the termination of the sanctions that have been imposed on the Iranian nation for decades." Baghaei's statement underscores the significant obstacle to progress in the negotiations. Disagreements persist over the extent of uranium enrichment allowed and the corresponding sanctions relief Iran expects. Oman is currently mediating these complex discussions. The U.S. has yet to respond directly to Iran's demands for clarity on sanctions, creating a stalemate in the process. The international community watches closely, hoping for a breakthrough that could prevent further escalation of tensions in the region. The success of these talks remains uncertain, but the commitment to confidence-building measures offers a glimmer of hope.
