Iran FM says 'good chance' of diplomatic solution to US standoff

Iran's foreign minister said on Sunday that he thought there was still a "good chance" his country's standoff with the United States over its nuclear programme could be resolved through diplomacy.

"I believe that still there is a good chance to have a diplomatic solution which is based on a win-win game," Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told the U.S. broadcaster CBS, adding negotiators were "working on the elements of a deal and draft of the text".

As for Iran's uranium enrichment, which the U.S. opposes, Araghchi said: "As a sovereign country, we have every right to decide for ourselves, by ourselves."
