Iran Strives for Agreement with U.S. on Nuclear Program

On Tuesday, Iran’s deputy foreign minister reaffirmed the nation’s commitment to engaging in negotiations with the United States regarding its nuclear program. Majid Takht Ravanshi stated that Iran is prepared to do “whatever it takes” to reach a consensus.

This declaration came as U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were set to meet with the Iranian team in Geneva later this week, as reported by Reuters.

Takht Ravanshi expressed readiness to secure an agreement promptly, emphasizing a sincere and honest approach during discussions in Geneva. He also warned that any attack or invasion against Iran would be met with a planned response, describing a potential U.S. strike as a risky decision.

Meanwhile, White House press secretary Caroline Levitt outlined President Donald Trump’s preference for diplomacy in dealings with Iran, although she acknowledged readiness to use military force if situations escalated. Recently, Trump remarked on social media that it would spell trouble for Iran if it fails to finalize a nuclear deal.

In related discussions, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi mentioned their intent to build on prior understandings in the upcoming talks, aiming for a fair agreement within a short time frame. He asserted that Iran does not intend to develop nuclear weapons but will not relinquish its rights to peaceful nuclear technology.

Araghchi noted that this moment represents a significant chance for an unprecedented agreement that could benefit both sides, urging that diplomacy should be prioritized to resolve differences without conflict.
