Abbas Araghchi has expressed optimism about the possibility of reaching a peace agreement or a political framework with the United States in the near future. In recent remarks, Araghchi said that if both sides proceed based on a “rational and balanced” approach, reaching an understanding would not be out of reach. He added that the current diplomatic environment is more complex than in the past, but still manageable, and that opportunities for progress remain. The comments come as indirect talks between Tehran and Washington have continued in recent months, with mediation from several countries. The two sides have reportedly discussed a range of issues, including de-escalation and certain security-related files. However, Iranian officials have previously stressed that any potential agreement must include clear guarantees and mutual respect, warning that without such conditions, sustainable progress in relations would not be possible.
