Deal possible if US avoids 'unrealistic demands', Iran’s Araghchi says

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Wednesday that progress in nuclear talks with the United States could be possible if Washington continues what he described as a constructive approach.

“If the American side continues a constructive approach and avoids unrealistic demands, we can reach a good agreement,” Araghchi said during a visit to Beijing.

He added that the indirect talks between Tehran and Washington are on the right track, but it is still too early to make a final judgment. “We are cautiously optimistic,” he said.

Araghchi also said Iran is in close consultation with China, calling it a strategic partner that has played a positive role in previous negotiations.
