Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has offered US special presidential envoy Steve Witkoff to negotiate an interim agreement on Tehran's nuclear program, APA reports citing Axios.
According to the news outlet, Araghchi pointed out that the sides may not be able to reach a final agreement on the nuclear program within the timeframe proposed by US President Donald Trump. The top diplomat told the envoy that given the detailed technicalities of a potential deal, it would be very difficult to conclude the talks within two months. Witkoff replied to Araghchi that he did not want to discuss an interim agreement yet. Instead, he wants to focus on reaching a comprehensive agreement within 60 days.
However, according to Axios' sources, Witkoff added that if, as that deadline approaches, both sides feel that significantly more time is needed, they could revisit the idea of an interim agreement. Iran's mission to the UN denied Axios' information in a statement, saying it was untrue. The State Department declined to comment.
