Iran’s Araghchi Asserts War Threats from US and Israel Won’t Alter Policies

TEHRAN: Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on Sunday that the possibility of renewed conflict with Israel and the United States will not shift Iran’s established positions. His comments come amid escalating threats from both nations regarding potential military actions against Iran.

During a televised event, Araghchi emphasized that discussions of a new war are not new to Iran, asserting that the country is already contemplating the post-war scenario. He remarked, “Whether there is war or not, our policies remain the same,” highlighting Iran’s steadfastness in the face of external pressures.

The backdrop of Araghchi’s statements includes recent comments from US President Donald Trump, who hinted at a possible resurgence of military operations against Iran, referencing the previous US-Israeli military actions that began on February 28. Araghchi warned that past attempts by the US and Israel to engage militarily have yielded no different results and reiterated that any new aggression would be met with the same resilience.

Looking ahead, the international community is closely monitoring the situation, especially following an April 8 ceasefire that temporarily halted intense hostilities between Iran and the US. As tensions remain high, diplomatic channels may be tested in the coming weeks as both sides navigate the complexities of their geopolitical standoff.
