Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araqchi said there is still no agreement between Iran and the US to resolve differences over Tehran’s nuclear program.
Araqchi wrote on his X account that while Iran is sincerely seeking a diplomatic solution that satisfies all parties, an agreement can only be reached if all sanctions are fully lifted and Iran’s peaceful nuclear program—including its right to enrich uranium—is protected.
He stressed that progress must come through direct talks, not through the media.
This statement comes days after CNN reported that a deal on the nuclear program could be signed soon between Washington and Tehran.
