Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said a new agreement with the United States is possible—on the condition that Washington abandons its policy of coercion.
He made this statement during a meeting with the visiting Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, in Tehran.
“Reaching an agreement with the United States is achievable,” Pezeshkian said. “However, this depends fundamentally on the American side refraining from coercive tactics.”
Al Thani expressed Qatar’s firm support for Iran’s rights, asserting that experience has shown that pressure and coercion are ineffective strategies when engaging with Tehran.
Later the same day, President Pezeshkian met with Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi. He praised Oman’s constructive and neutral role in facilitating indirect dialogue between Iran and the U.S.

The Iranian president voiced optimism that the talks would result in a just agreement that supports long-term peace and stability in West Asia.
Since April 12, Iran and the United States have held four rounds of indirect negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear programme and the lifting of U.S. sanctions. Three meetings have taken place in Muscat, Oman, and one in Rome, Italy, all mediated by Oman.
