US can only dream of a Libya-style deal with Iran, FM says

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday that Washington can only dream of an agreement with Iran similar to the 2003 deal with Libya.

His comments came after Republican Senator Tom Cotton said the deal President Trump wants with Iran would be one that neutralizes Tehran's threat completely.

"He prefers a deal like Libya cut with the United States in 2003," Cotton said in an interview posted on X, alluding to Qaddafi's giving up of all WMDs.

Araghchi also said that “no round of negotiations with the United States has been held so far."

“We have expressed our position; we believe in diplomacy and negotiations, but only indirectly.”
