Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday that Iran remains ready for peace and diplomacy with the United States, asserting that a deal between the two countries is achievable despite Washington’s threats. Speaking to US network MS NOW, Araghchi emphasized that Iran’s nuclear programme has no military solution and described the US military build-up in the Middle East, including two aircraft carriers and dozens of fighter jets, as “unnecessary and unhelpful.” He warned that military action would bring disastrous consequences for the region and the international community.

Araghchi’s comments came as US President Donald Trump confirmed he was considering limited strikes against Iran to strengthen Washington’s negotiating position. The two sides have held two rounds of talks in the past month, which both described as positive. However, the US continues to deploy military assets near Iran, and Trump has repeatedly threatened further action if Tehran rebuilds its nuclear or missile programmes.

Araghchi said Iran will soon submit a written proposal for a deal to US negotiators, noting that both sides have agreed on guiding principles and will next work on finalizing the draft text.
