Caption: Iran Ready for Nuclear Talks with the US, but Demands No Military Option. Iran is prepared to engage in talks with the US over its nuclear program on Saturday with the goal of reaching a deal, according to Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. However, he insisted that President Donald Trump must first commit to ruling out any "military option," stressing that Iran would not accept coercion. The talks, set to take place in Oman, will be indirect, contradicting Trump’s earlier statement that they would be “direct". Trump, who pulled the US out of the 2015 nuclear deal, warned that Iran would be in "great danger" if the talks fail. Despite the lack of diplomatic ties, Trump sent a letter to Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei seeking a deal to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and avoiding military action. Iran maintains its nuclear activities are peaceful and denies any intent to develop nuclear weapons. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
