Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi attends a meeting with his Armenian counterpart in Yerevan
The United States wants a nuclear agreement “as soon as possible,” Iran says after rare talks on Saturday, as US President Donald Trump threatens military action if they fail to reach a deal.
The long-term adversaries, who have not had diplomatic relations for more than 40 years, are seeking a new nuclear deal after Trump pulled out of an earlier agreement during his first term in 2018.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, a seasoned diplomat and key architect of the 2015 deal, and Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff, led the delegations in the highest-level Iran-US nuclear talks since the previous accord’s collapse.
