– There is no military solution to the nuclear issue; diplomacy is the only way forward.

– Washington has not asked Tehran to permanently halt uranium enrichment.

– Tehran has not proposed suspending Iranian uranium enrichment to Washington.

– What we are currently discussing is how to ensure that Iran’s nuclear program — including enrichment — is peaceful in nature and remains so forever.

– Tehran intends to prepare a draft of a potential agreement with Washington on nuclear energy within two or three days.

– There is no military solution to our nuclear program. Broad attacks were previously carried out against it, but they failed to eliminate it.

– We do not consider Americans our enemies; rather, we view the policies of the U.S. government as hostile toward Iran.

– When the hostile behavior of the U.S. government stops, we may be able to consider a different type of relationship.

– Previous U.S. administrations have done nearly everything against us — including war, sanctions, and the snapback mechanism — yet none of it succeeded.

– If Americans speak to the Iranian people with respect, we will respond in the same language; if they speak to us with force, we will respond in kind.

– We held very good talks in Geneva and were able to discuss issues related to the nuclear program and U.S. sanctions.

– We reached an understanding on a set of “guiding principles” for negotiations and the possible framework of an agreement.

– This is the path ahead of us, and I believe this is the natural context of any international negotiations. We have agreed to follow this path.

– Rafael Grossi played a very constructive role in the recent negotiations by presenting technical proposals that help resolve the issue.

– There are technical measures that can be taken to ensure the Iranian program never deviates, and this is what we did in 2015.

– I am in contact with my counterpart in the negotiations, Witkoff and Kushner, and we will meet again whenever necessary to determine how to reach a fair agreement.

– I believe reaching a fair and equitable agreement is possible, as President Donald Trump indicated.

– A fair agreement requires creativity and flexibility from both sides; there is no other solution to this issue.

– We discussed how to reach a quick agreement. There is no deadline, but both sides want a swift deal.

– The difficult part is how to turn a quick agreement into a fair and balanced one that benefits both sides.

– It is clear that each side has its own interests and concerns, and our task is to find a solution that takes both parties’ interests and considerations into account.

– I hope those who want to drag the United States into another unnecessary and catastrophic war do not succeed.

I think I can say that I am considering that.

U.S. military planning regarding Iran has reached very advanced stages.

We call on German citizens to leave Iran.
