Nuclear Deal at Hand, Iran's FM Says
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An agreement with assurances that Iran would not have nukes is within reach provided that Tehran will maintain its enrichment program and is rid of the sanctions, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said.
“(US) President (Donald) Trump entered office saying that Iran should not have nuclear weapons. That is actually in line with our own doctrine and could become the main foundation for a deal,” Araqchi said in a post on his X account on Wednesday.
“As we resume talks on Sunday, it is clear that an agreement that can ensure the continued peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program is within reach —and could be achieved rapidly,” he added.
“That mutually beneficial outcome relies on the continuation of Iran's enrichment program, under the full supervision of the IAEA, and the effective termination of sanctions,” Araqchi stated.
Iran and the US have held five rounds of talks since April 12, mediated by Oman, with the purpose of reaching a deal on Iran’s nuclear program and the removal of sanctions on Tehran.
The next round of talks is planned to be held in Muscat on June 15.
