US and Iranian officials are due to meet in Geneva on Thursday for a third round of indirect talks, as President Donald Trump threatens to strike Iran if a nuclear deal is not reached.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi will hold a joint phone call on Friday with his counterparts from France, Britain, and Germany to discuss stalled nuclear negotiations and sanctions, state news agency IRNA reported.

U.S. President Donald Trump strongly denied reports on Friday suggesting he supports a $30 billion deal to help Iran develop civilian nuclear facilities.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that the United States and Iran plan to hold talks next week, just days after U.S. forces bombed three major Iranian nuclear facilities and following the cease-fire agreement between Israel and Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran on Friday, urging the country to pursue a deal before it’s too late in the wake of Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on Saturday that Iran views nuclear weapons as “unacceptable,” reaffirming the country’s longstanding position, supported by a religious fatwa, amid sensitive negotiations with the United States.

"We cannot live with anything short of that," said the Israeli premier.
