TEHRAN – Foreign Minister 
Abbas Araghchi said Wednesday an agreement with the U.S. is “within reach” if Iran’s right to uranium enrichment is ensured and anti-Tehran sanctions are terminated.
Araghchi’s statement on his X account came as Iran and the U.S. are to hold the 6th round of their indirect talks in Muscat on June 15.
“President Trump entered office saying that Iran should not have nuclear weapons. That is actually in line with our own doctrine and could become the main foundation for a deal,” Araghchi said.
“As we resume talks on Sunday, it is clear that an agreement that can ensure the continued peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program is within reach—and could be achieved rapidly.”
Araghchi said a “mutually beneficial outcome relies on the continuation of Iran’s enrichment program, under the full supervision of the IAEA, and the effective termination of sanctions.”
On Tuesday, Araghchi rebuked the U.S. and European troika’s provocative move to initiate an anti-Iran resolution at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s Board of Governors, warning against any unwise decision by the 35-member panel.
In a phone conversation with his Japanese counterpart Takeshi Iwaya, Araghchi underscored Tehran’s determination to uphold the legitimate and inalienable rights of Iranian people to peaceful nuclear energy, including the right to enrichment.
“Any ill-advised and destructive decision by the Board of Governors against Iran will be met with an appropriate response on the part of Iran, and the responsibility for its consequences lies with the parties that instrumentalize and politicize the agency,” he said. 
Araghchi said Iran pursues a principled stance, based on Islamic teachings, to never pursue nuclear weapons. 
“However, we will not back down from the Iranian nation’s right to peaceful use of nuclear energy,” he said.
Praising Japan’s balanced stance in its foreign policies, Araghchi said, “We hope to see an appropriate position and action from Japan and other member states of the

 Board of Governors towards strengthening the path of dialogue and interaction.”
Iwaya welcomed the continuation of negotiations between Iran and the U.S., stressing the Islamic Republic’s legitimate right to enjoy nuclear energy for peaceful activities.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei announced on Tuesday that Tehran has prepared a raft of proportionate measures to be taken if the IAEA adopts an anti-Iranian resolution.
