Iran Offers Nuclear Concessions to Stop US Attack, Turkey Mediates

Iran is sending its foreign minister to Turkey for emergency talks. The goal is to prevent a possible U.S. military attack. Turkish officials are mediating. They aim to convince Iran to make compromises on its nuclear program. Iran is reportedly weighing these painful concessions to avoid a devastating conflict. Turkey’s president has proposed a direct video call between U.S. and Iranian leaders. This high-stakes diplomacy might appeal to the U.S. However, cautious Iranian diplomats are historically opposed to such direct contact. The two nations have not held formal talks for ten years. The urgent meetings follow increasing military threats from the United States.
