A nuclear deal with the US is within reach, said Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Wednesday.
Framing Iran’s opposition to nuclear weapons as a potential basis for agreement, Araghchi wrote on X that Donald Trump had once said Iran should not acquire such weapons—“That is actually in line with our own doctrine and could become the main foundation for a deal,” he said.
Talks are set to resume Sunday, and Araghchi expressed optimism about a rapid resolution, provided key conditions are met.
“An agreement that can ensure the continued peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program is within reach—and could be achieved rapidly,” he wrote.
Any deal, he added, must preserve Iran’s enrichment capabilities while lifting sanctions: “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.”
