Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on June 11 that an agreement that can ensure the continued peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear programme is within reach and could be achieved rapidly.

He stressed in a post on his X account that such a “mutually beneficial outcome” relies on the continuation of Iran's enrichment programme, under the full supervision of the IAEA, and the effective termination of sanctions.

Iran is engaged in indirect talks with the United States over its nuclear programme, with five rounds already held in Muscat and Rome under Omani mediation, and a sixth slated for June 15.

The fundamental disagreement centres on uranium enrichment, with the US insisting Iran must cease the activity on its soil, while Tehran regards it as a non-negotiable red line.

Iran, however, asserts its ability to provide assurances regarding the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear programme, stressing it harbours no ambition to develop an atomic weapon.

Araghchi referred to US President Donald Trump’s announcement upon entering the White House that Iran should not have nuclear weapons, saying this position is aligned with Iran’s doctrine and can be used as the main foundation for an agreement.

Araghchi posted the text while in Oslo, a visit widely speculated to be for meetings with US representatives ahead of the sixth round of negotiations.  

European countries have expressed concern about Iran's nuclear activities and cooperation with international inspectors in recent months, in opposition to efforts by the US Trump administration to reach a new nuclear deal with Tehran.
