Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran is preparing to submit a draft framework for a nuclear agreement to the United States within the next few days, following warnings from Donald Trump about possible military action if a deal is not reached soon.

In an interview with Morning Joe on MSNBC, Araghchi said the proposal is nearly ready and will be delivered to U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff after final approval from Iranian leadership. He stressed there is no formal ultimatum and said both sides are working toward a swift agreement.

Araghchi also said Iran has not offered to suspend uranium enrichment and that U.S. negotiators have not demanded zero enrichment. According to him, current discussions focus on ensuring Iran’s nuclear programme, including enrichment, remains permanently peaceful.

His remarks contrast with public statements by U.S. officials, including Trump, who has repeatedly insisted Iran must not enrich uranium at any level.

The comments follow a second round of Oman-mediated negotiations held in Geneva after earlier talks resumed in Oman this year following the collapse of previous diplomacy during last year’s Iran–Israel conflict.

Trump has warned that military action could follow if progress is not made within roughly two weeks. Washington continues to push for restrictions not only on Iran’s nuclear activities but also on its missile programme and regional influence.

Western countries accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, which Tehran denies while maintaining its right to civilian nuclear technology.

Amid the tensions, the U.S. has expanded its military presence in the region, deploying the aircraft carriers USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Gerald R. Ford. Iran has also conducted naval drills near the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
