IRNA: Iran's 'abandon nuclear' comment was from past US talks, not new offer

• Iran's state-run news agency IRNA clarified that reports of Tehran offering to abandon its nuclear program referred to earlier US talks, not a new proposal.
• Media reports had suggested a new conditional offer from Iran to Washington, which IRNA stated was taken out of context.
• Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi's original comments were about abandoning the program if the US presented a 'satisfactory alternative offer'.
• The clarification follows escalating tensions, including Operation Epic Fury and the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
• US officials aim for a regional transition in West Asia to mitigate global security risks, citing failed diplomatic efforts.
