TEHRAN – The White House has announced that the United States remains open to potential dialogue with Iran, even as Tehran and its European counterparts gear up for negotiations set to take place this Friday.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, “I understand that the administration continues to be open to talks with Iran if we deem them necessary.” However, she said there is no scheduled date for such negotiations yet.

Prior to June 13, Tehran and Washington had engaged in five rounds of indirect negotiations over Iran’s peaceful nuclear program. The talks, facilitated by the Sultanate of Oman, were expected to continue with a sixth round in Muscat on June 15. However, the session was cancelled after the Israeli regime launched a large-scale and unprovoked assault on Iranian territory.

The attack, which targeted senior Iranian military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians, marked a significant escalation in regional tensions.

Subsequently, on June 22, the United States officially entered the conflict by carrying out airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities—located in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—in clear violation of the UN Charter and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Iran has repeatedly emphasized that its nuclear activities are entirely peaceful and carried out under the full supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
