Washington, March 4: Senior officials from the Trump administration have indicated that the United States may move towards a diplomatic agreement with Iran if a new government is formed in Tehran that abandons its ambitions for nuclear weapons, ceases ballistic missile threats, and stops supporting militant groups.
According to two senior officials, if the future Iranian leadership engages in the regional security framework and adheres to strict nuclear restrictions, the US is prepared to offer relief from sanctions and economic cooperation.
A senior Trump administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated, “If a new government comes in and says we are ready to work with all countries in the region and adhere to standard norms like a normal country, the door will be wide open for us.”
The official outlined that these conditions include ending support for proxy groups in the Middle East, halting missile threats against neighboring countries, and ensuring that Iran’s nuclear program remains strictly for civilian purposes.
He added, “If a new government comes in and expresses readiness to cooperate with all countries in the region and follow standard norms, the administration will be ready for talks and could reach an agreement very quickly.”
These comments reflect Washington’s thinking about Iran’s political future amid rising tensions following US military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. The official noted that while the US is focused on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, there is also the possibility of diplomatic talks if Tehran changes its course.
He emphasized that any future agreement would require Iran to abandon uranium enrichment for weapons-grade material and accept verifiable restrictions monitored by international inspectors.
The official mentioned, “We are working on what a future ban relief package could look like if a framework is established with the new government that genuinely adheres to all those different standards.”
He stated that the US has offered Iran the opportunity to run a civilian nuclear program under international oversight during negotiations, but these efforts have not led to an acceptable agreement for Washington.
During discussions, US negotiators also proposed that if Iran agreed to halt domestic uranium enrichment, it could be provided with nuclear fuel for civilian reactors. According to officials, this proposal was intended to assess whether Iran’s nuclear program is genuinely for peaceful energy production or aimed at developing weapon capabilities.
They argued that Iran’s refusal to accept this proposal raises further concerns that it wishes to maintain its enrichment capacity. The official concluded, “They offered us several political benefits and some concessions, but they were not willing to give up the fundamental elements they need to reach a nuclear bomb.”
