Tehran, February 25: Iran’s Foreign Minister, Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, departed for Geneva on Wednesday to lead a political delegation in the latest round of indirect negotiations with the United States.
According to Xinhua News Agency, these talks are taking place amid ongoing tensions between Iran and the U.S., exacerbated by the deployment of American military forces in the West Asia region.
Araghchi stated on social media platform X that Iran is set to resume discussions with the U.S. on Thursday, emphasizing their commitment to achieving a fair and equitable agreement.
He noted that both sides have a historic opportunity to forge an unprecedented deal that addresses mutual concerns and safeguards shared interests. He stressed that an agreement is possible if diplomacy is prioritized.
As reported by the official news agency IRNA, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf mentioned that all options remain open regarding the U.S., including dignity-based diplomacy and defensive measures that could induce regret.
On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his preference for resolving conflicts with Iran through diplomacy, but firmly stated, “I will never allow Iran to have nuclear weapons.”
Meanwhile, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs, Majid Takht Ravanchi, indicated on Tuesday that Iran is prepared to do whatever is necessary to achieve a nuclear agreement.
In an interview with NPR Radio, he said, “We will do whatever is necessary to reach an agreement. We will enter the negotiation room in Geneva with full sincerity and goodwill.”
Ravanchi further added, “We hope that our goodwill and positive initiatives will be reciprocated by the U.S. side, and if there is political will from all parties, I am confident that an agreement is possible soon.”
