Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says that there is no solution but a negotiated outcome about the nuclear issues of the Islamic Republic.

Writing on his X account late on Tuesday, Araghchi reacted to the recent remarks of the US President Donald Trump on Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.

Upon embarking on a fifth round of talks with Steve Witkoff on May 23, 2025, he wrote that Iran was willing to reach a deal if the subject of negotiation was “Zero nuclear weapons” , Araghchi said.

But when it comes to “zero enrichment”, Tehran will not sit at the negotiation table, the top diplomat noted.

“If POTUS was to glance at the minutes of those talks—recorded by our interlocutor—he would see just how close we were to celebrating a new and historic Iran nuclear deal,” said Araghchi.

Trump should also recall that there was never any intelligence that Iraq was hiding weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), he added.

There was only unfathomable destruction, thousands of dead American soldiers, and seven trillion American taxpayer dollars down the drain, he said.

Similarly, there was certainly no “intelligence” that Iran was “within a month” of developing a nuclear weapon had Israel not finally managed to deceive the US into attacking the Iranian People, he underlined.

With the failure of that action, he said, Israel is now trying to make an imaginary threat out of our defense capabilities.

“By now, Americans have had enough of fighting Israel’s Forever Wars,” he added.

“Iran is a Great Country and Iranians are a Great Nation, the heirs of a Great and Ancient Civilization. Buildings and machines can be destroyed, but our determination will NEVER be shaken. Doubling down on that miscalculation does not resolve anything,” Araghchi noted.

The Foreign Minister reiterated that there is “NO solution” but a negotiated outcome.
