Amidst escalating tensions, Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi warned that its military is prepared to retaliate against any aggression, emphasizing their readiness following lessons learned from past conflicts. This warning comes as President Trump pressures Iran to negotiate a nuclear deal, deploying a large U.S. naval fleet to the Middle East. Araghchi stated Iran is open to a mutually beneficial nuclear agreement that ensures its peaceful nuclear technology rights but denies ever seeking nuclear weapons. Trump cautioned Iran that time is running out to negotiate, referencing a past military operation and threatening a more severe attack if a deal isn't reached. Iran's UN mission responded by highlighting the costly U.S. involvement in past Middle Eastern wars and expressed readiness for dialogue based on mutual respect.
