The Iranian president welcomes an encouraging signal in nuclear talks with the US, but says Tehran is ready for any potential scenario.

The Iranian and Omani foreign ministers consult on the arrangements for the next round of indirect nuclear talks between the Islamic Republic and the US.

Iran’s nuclear chief says infiltration and sabotage carried out by the Israeli regime pushed the country to build a fully indigenous nuclear industry.
