Iran has outlined its red lines for ongoing nuclear negotiations with the United States, according to reports from May 2026. The demands include the lifting of all sanctions imposed since 2018, verification of military sites by international inspectors, and guarantees that the US will not withdraw from any future agreement.
These positions contrast sharply with those of the Trump administration, which has insisted on strict limits on Iran's uranium enrichment and access to military facilities. The talks, held in Vienna, have seen little progress as both sides remain entrenched in their positions.
Iranian officials have stated that any deal must respect their sovereignty and allow for peaceful nuclear energy. The US has countered that Iran must comply with previous UN resolutions and allow unfettered access to inspectors.
