Iran says US must drop ‘threatening rhetoric’ for diplomacy
Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said Iran remains open to diplomacy with the United States if Washington changes what he described as its “expansionist approach” and “threatening rhetoric”.
The comments were shared in a post on his official Telegram account following calls with regional counterparts.
“Iran is ready to pursue diplomacy if the American side changes its expansionist approach, threatening rhetoric, and provocative actions,” the post said.
It added that Iran’s armed forces remain fully prepared to respond to any threat, underscoring a dual track of openness to talks alongside military readiness.
