Iran rules out war with the United States and confirms its readiness for any scenario.

Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, affirmed that Iran does not expect a war with the United States, pointing out that Iran's "high level of readiness" serves as a deterrent against any external aggression, while emphasizing the country's full readiness to face any developments.

The official IRNA news agency quoted Araghchi during his meeting with Red Crescent rescue teams, where he stated: "All state components, from the armed forces to relief teams, government, and people, are fully prepared for any emergency."

The Iranian minister explained that "this level of preparedness prevents any party from thinking of attacking Iran, due to the serious consequences that would result from such a step," expressing his certainty that "war will not occur due to our full readiness to confront it."

Araghchi's statements came days after he spoke to local media about Tehran's current strategy, which relies on indirect negotiations with Washington, indicating Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's rejection of direct talks with the United States under the policy of "maximum pressure."

Meanwhile, US National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, reiterated Washington's demand for a "complete dismantling" of Iran's nuclear program, not just limiting uranium enrichment, stating in an interview with CBS News: "We want transparent and verifiable guarantees proving Iran's abandonment of its nuclear ambitions," noting that "all options are still on the table."
