This upward movement reflects continued investor interest in precious metals amidst broader market dynamics and supply considerations. The precious metal has seen significant gains, with some reports indicating platinum hitting a historical high in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the diplomatic landscape between Iran and the United States remains characterized by uncertainty regarding future talks. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi confirmed that <strong>no date has been determined for the second round of negotiations with America<\/strong>, nor has a date been set for the next round of discussions.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this lack of a firm schedule, both Tehran and Washington reportedly believe that these negotiations should be held soon. The previous round of indirect talks, which focused exclusively on the nuclear issue, took place in Oman on February 6, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Araqchi emphasized Iran&#39;s firm stance on key issues, stating that the country&#39;s <strong>missile program is &quot;never negotiable&quot;<\/strong> as it is considered a defensive matter. He also reiterated that <strong>uranium enrichment is an &quot;inalienable right&quot;<\/strong> for Iran, asserting that even military actions could not eliminate Iran&#39;s nuclear capabilities. The Iranian diplomat added that while Iran is prepared to reach a &quot;reassuring agreement&quot; on enrichment, the negotiation process must be free from threats and pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Spot platinum prices surged by 3% today, reaching $2,151.70 per ounce, marking a significant gain in the precious
