Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said on Friday that Tehran will prepare the draft of a possible nuclear deal with the United States within two to three days, while U.S. President Donald Trump said he is contemplating a limited military strike on Iran.
In an interview with MSNBC while elaborating on indirect nuclear talks between Iran and the United States and ways to bridge differences on the nuclear issue, Araghchi said, "My next step is to present the draft of a potential deal to my U.S. counterparts," noting that the draft will be ready in the next two to three days.
The draft, once finalized by his superiors, will be delivered to U.S. president's special envoy Steve Witkoff, he said, adding that the two sides "may need another round of discussion before starting work toward, hopefully, a good conclusion."
During the second round of indirect talks on Tuesday, Araghchi said, Iran has not offered to suspend uranium enrichment on its soil, and the U.S. side has not put forward such a demand.
"I have to emphasize that there is no military solution to Iran's nuclear program," he said, adding, "The only solution is diplomacy and that is why the United States is back to the negotiating table and seeking a deal."
He added that Iran is ready both for war and peace, noting, "We are prepared for diplomacy and negotiation as much as we are ready for war."
Later in the day, Trump said that he is considering a limited military strike to pressure Iran to make a deal. "I guess I can say I am considering that," Trump told reporters at the White House.
The latest developments come as Iran and the United States hope to resolve a range of differences through negotiations, including issues related to uranium enrichment, long-range missiles, and sanctions.
With the two countries having completed two rounds of talks, Trump said Thursday that Iran has 10 to 15 days to reach a deal on its nuclear program, or "really bad things" will happen.
Meanwhile, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Effie Defrin said Friday that the military is on high alert and monitoring developments on all fronts.
He added that there have been no changes to the military's guidelines for the Israeli public and urged the public to pay close attention to the latest official announcements.
Tensions between the United States and Iran have been escalating for months. Both sides have stepped up their military preparations for a potential conflict. Last week, Trump announced the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier, to the Middle East to reinforce the USS Abraham Lincoln and its accompanying guided-missile destroyers, already in the region.
