JAKARTA - Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has issued an order to resume nuclear negotiations with the United States.
The Tasnim News Agency, citing a source familiar with the information, said talks were likely to resume soon, and would involve senior officials from both countries, but the exact time and location of the meeting had not been determined.
The negotiations are expected to take place at the level of Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US envoy Steve Witkoff.
But so far there has been no official statement from Pezeshkian's office regarding the development.
The move comes amid rising tensions between Iran and the US, with a US military fleet reportedly heading to the region, as announced by President Donald Trump.
Trump confirmed a large US "fleet" was en route to the region, as well as warning Iran to enter negotiations on its nuclear program or face potential military action.
In recent days, there has been intense diplomatic activity, with several regional countries, including Turkey, intervening to ease tensions between the two countries.
Meanwhile, at a weekly press conference in Tehran on Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei denied receiving "any ultimatum or deadline" in negotiations with the US.
It should be noted that Iran and the US were engaged in indirect nuclear negotiations in June last year when Israel launched an attack on Iran, triggering a 12-day military confrontation and sharply raising tensions.
After the 12-day war, Iran suspended talks with the US, and held Washington responsible for the attack.
