The US has offered Iran conditions for resuming nuclear negotiations.

On September 26, the US State Department affirmed that Iran needs to take steps to "de-escalate" its nuclear program if it wants to pave the way for negotiations with Washington, including cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

At a press briefing on September 26, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said: "Iran must take de-escalation steps if it wants to reduce tensions and create space for diplomacy."

"In just the last few weeks, we have seen Iran take steps aimed at undermining the IAEA's ability to do its job. So if Iran were truly serious about taking de-escalation steps, the first thing they could do would be to cooperate with the IAEA."

According to Miller, these steps are seen as a potential prelude to resuming US-Iran negotiations, whether directly or indirectly related to Tehran's nuclear program. However, the official did not disclose further details.

This is the second time in recent days that Washington has condemned Tehran for its decision to ban several IAEA inspectors assigned to the task, hindering the UN nuclear watchdog's work on Iran's atomic program.

The U.S. and many Western allies are concerned that Tehran's nuclear program could be a cover for developing nuclear weapons, but Iran has consistently denied these allegations.
