Iran says potential energy, mining and aircraft deals on table in talks with US
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister said Tehran may dilute enriched uranium if all sanctions are lifted, signaling cautious progress in nuclear talks mediated by Oman and Geneva.
- On Sunday, February 15, 2026, Majid Takht-Ravanchi told the BBC that Iran is ready to discuss nuclear compromises if the US discusses lifting sanctions.
- A second round in Geneva follows indirect Oman-mediated contacts earlier this month, with Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner scheduled to attend on Tuesday.
- Technical proposals under discussion include diluting 60%-enriched material and shipping options via third countries, amid uncertainty over more than 400kg, with Russia as a potential recipient.
- The U.S. military build-up, including a second carrier, raises the stakes if talks fail, while Ghanbari said `Common interests in the oil and gas fields, joint fields, mining investments, and even aircraft purchases are included in the negotiations.`
- Iran insists missiles and zero enrichment remain off the table, with Israel demanding enriched material removal, while Takht-Ravanchi said, `We see an almost unanimous agreement in the region against war`.
