Araghchi: Negotiations with US Must Be Fair, with Equal Rights

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran is fully prepared for both war and negotiations, responding to threats from Donald Trump of military intervention. He emphasized that any negotiations must be fair, with equal rights and mutual respect. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, said that communication lines with the US remain open, through special envoys or intermediaries such as Switzerland. Despite “contradictory” proposals from the US side, Iran remains committed to diplomacy.
