Iran is prepared to consider compromises for a nuclear deal with the United States if Americans are willing to discuss lifting sanctions, an Iranian minister told the BBC in Tehran.

• Majid Takht-Ravanchi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister, indicated that the ball is "in America's court to prove that they want to do a deal."
• Iran offered to dilute its 60%-enriched uranium as evidence of its willingness to compromise.
• Indirect talks were held in Oman earlier in February, with a second round scheduled for Geneva.
