Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has denied receiving any written nuclear deal proposal from the United States, calling the US messaging “confusing and contradictory.” This comes just hours after President Donald Trump warned Tehran that it could face “something bad” if it fails to quickly accept a US offer.
Speaking on Air Force One after his Middle East tour, Trump said the US has made a proposal but did not share details. The warning adds pressure amid ongoing indirect nuclear negotiations between Iran and the US, mediated by Oman.
Last Sunday’s talks in Muscat addressed several difficult issues, but no breakthrough has yet been confirmed. Araghchi, who leads Iran’s nuclear team, reaffirmed Iran’s position: it demands respect for its rights and an end to sanctions before any deal can be reached. He stressed that Iran will not abandon its right to uranium enrichment for peaceful purposes, a right guaranteed under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Araghchi emphasized Iran’s willingness for dialogue based on mutual respect, highlighting Tehran’s resilience in resisting external pressure.
During his trip, Trump expressed optimism about progress, saying the US was “getting close” to a deal with Iran despite harsh rhetoric on both sides.
Meanwhile, talks continued on Friday in Istanbul between Iran and the European Troika — France, Germany, and the UK. European officials warned they may reinstate sanctions if no agreement is reached. Araghchi cautioned that such a move could trigger “irreversible” consequences and risk a global nuclear proliferation crisis.
