TEHRAN - Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced on Sunday he would likely meet U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff on Thursday in Geneva in line with efforts to find a diplomatic resolution to the latest nuclear standoff between Tehran and Washington.

“I believe that still, there is a good chance to have a diplomatic solution which is based on a win-win game and a solution is at our reach,” Araghchi said on CBS’ Face the Nation. “There is no need for any military buildup, and military buildup cannot help it, and cannot pressurize us.”

The U.S. military has amassed a military buildup in the waters near Iran, including two aircraft carriers, as President Donald Trump presses Tehran for a new nuclear deal.

Araghchi reiterated that Iran is working on a proposal for an agreement that meets the needs of both parties.

“I believe that when we meet, probably this Thursday, in Geneva again, we can work on those elements and prepare a good text and come to a fast deal. This is my understanding. I see it quite possible,” he said.
