Iran’s president said recent nuclear discussions with the United States were constructive, according to state media, even as sanctions continue to strain the country’s economy. The comments come amid ongoing pressure on Tehran over its nuclear program and broader disputes with Washington.

The latest remarks suggest both sides are still engaged in diplomacy, though the talks remain limited by deep mistrust and unresolved demands. Iranian officials have repeatedly blamed sanctions for worsening inflation, currency weakness, and hardship for ordinary people.

No breakthrough was announced, and the report did not indicate that the two sides had narrowed their differences on major issues. Still, the language points to a continued channel of communication at a moment when tensions remain high.

For many Iranians, the stakes are practical rather than political: access to stable prices, jobs, and relief from economic isolation. Whether the talks produce any concrete steps remains unclear.
