A U.S. official has stated that the administration will not accept a poor agreement in ongoing negotiations, while emphasizing that military action remains a viable option should talks fail.

The anticipated accord is designed to reduce costs for Americans and prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, according to the official's remarks reported by Fox News.

The statement underscores the administration's position that any agreement must meet specific standards, and that there are immediate alternatives available if the current diplomatic track proves unsuccessful.
