Ammon News - Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday that talks with the United States on a final agreement covering Tehran's nuclear programme will likely begin on Friday.

"Likely on Friday, at a location to be determined... a new round of negotiations between Iran and the United States to reach a final agreement will begin," Araghchi said in a briefing with foreign diplomats broadcast on state television.

Also, Araghchi noted that ending the war in Lebanon was the "most important issue" in the peace deal with the United States announced the day before.

"The important point I want to emphasise here is that in our view, there are two parties to this memorandum one side is America and Israel, and the other side is Iran and Hezbollah," said Araghchi.

"This is perhaps the most important issue in the memorandum the declaration of an immediate and permanent end to the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon," he added.
