The following is the transcript of the interview with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi that aired on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" on March 15, 2026.
The war, which shows no signs of ending soon, has upended global air travel, disrupted oil exports from the region and sent fuel prices rising across the world.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that "we don't see any reason why we should talk with Americans" as President Trump has claimed Iran is seeking a deal to end the war between the U.S. and Iran.
This week on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," amid new strikes from Israel and Iran in the Middle East, Margaret Brennan speaks to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Trump economic adviser Kevin Hassett. Plus, Rep. Dan Crenshaw and Sen. Mark Warner join.
