Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi recently spoke separately with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov regarding the ongoing indirect nuclear discussions between Iran and the United States. Araghchi emphasized the importance of drafting negotiation terms based on mutual respect and interests during his call with Abdelatty. The Egyptian Foreign Minister expressed support for the diplomatic process and urged continued consultations to establish an acceptable framework for all parties involved.
In another conversation, Araghchi and Lavrov addressed the current status of Iran’s nuclear program, taking into account the outcomes of the recent indirect talks between the US and Iran. Lavrov reiterated Russia’s backing for the negotiation process aimed at finding fair political and diplomatic solutions that respect Iran’s legitimate rights under the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The diplomatic engagements between Iran and the US are occurring amidst escalating tensions and increased US military presence in the region.
US President Donald Trump issued a warning, stating that Iran must reach a nuclear deal within 10 to 15 days to avoid severe consequences. Reports suggest that Trump is contemplating a limited military strike on Iran to pressure Tehran into accepting a nuclear agreement. The potential strike, if authorized, could target specific military or government sites within a few days. However, if Iran does not comply, the Trump administration may escalate to a broader campaign targeting Iranian government facilities with the goal of regime change.
