Iran�s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday that he is likely to meet with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff in Geneva later this week, signaling a possible last-minute push to revive nuclear diplomacy amid rising military tensions.

Speaking on Face the Nation on CBS News, Araghchi said there remains �a good chance� of reaching a diplomatic solution to Iran�s nuclear standoff with Washington.

His comments come as President Donald Trump weighs potential military strikes on Iranian targets, raising fears that the window for negotiations may be closing.

�I believe diplomacy is still possible,� Araghchi said, suggesting that both sides are exploring ways to de-escalate before tensions spiral into open conflict.

Meanwhile, Axios reported that U.S. negotiators are prepared to hold another round of talks with Iran on Friday in Geneva�if Tehran delivers a detailed proposal for a nuclear agreement within the next 48 hours. The report cited a senior U.S. official familiar with the discussions.

The potential meeting between Araghchi and Witkoff is being viewed as a critical test of whether diplomacy can still prevail over confrontation. Officials on both sides have hinted that negotiations are entering a decisive phase, with little room left for delays or ambiguity.
