In a notable statement following recent escalations, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi asserted that Iran would cease its retaliatory strikes if Israel stops its attacks. Speaking to reporters in Tehran,Araghchi emphasized that Israel is opposed to a nuclear agreement between Iran and the United States. He reiterated Iran’s firm stance against nuclear weapons, asserting that no one has the right to deprive Iran of its peaceful nuclear program.
Araghchi’s comments come in the wake of Israel’s aggressive military actions, which have heightened tensions in the region. He expressed that previous American proposals during negotiations where unacceptable to Iran, and the country had prepared a counter-proposal that coudl possibly pave the way for a comprehensive agreement with the U.S. This dialog reflects the complex dynamics at play, as both nations navigate a fraught landscape of diplomacy and military posturing. The situation remains delicate, with the potential for further conflict looming if diplomatic efforts falter.
