"Top Iranian diplomat Abbas Araghchi says US has not asked' for zero uranium enrichment in nuclear talks. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that Iran is prepared for peace and diplomacy with the United States, suggesting that a possible deal between the two countries remains close despite the threats from Washington. Speaking to the US television network MS NOW on Friday, Araghchi stressed that Iran's nuclear programme has no military solution."
"A diplomatic solution is at our reach; we can easily achieve [it], Araghchi said. He hit out at the enormous US military build-up in the Middle East, which includes two aircraft carriers and dozens of fighter jets, calling it unnecessary and unhelpful. I have been in this business in the past 20 years and negotiated with different parties. I know that a deal is achievable, but it should be fair and based on a win-win solution, the top Iranian diplomat said."
"[The] military option would only complicate this, would only bring about disastrous consequences not only for us, perhaps for the whole region and for the whole international community. Hours after Araghchi's interview, US President Donald Trump was asked about the possibility of limited strikes against Iran to boost Washington's negotiating position. I guess I can say I am considering that, Trump told reporters. But Araghchi had warned that Iranians are proud people who only respond to the language of respect."
