🔻 Exclusive: Raguchi says Iran is more ready for diplomacy and war; Warns the US to choose a "smart path" 📌 Ashgabat, IRNA - Foreign Minister Abbas Archie says that Iran is ready for diplomatic and military scenarios "more than ever", noting that the ball is now in Washington's court to choose between a "smart path" of negotiations or repeating a "military takeover". Speaking to INA on a trip to Turkmenistan on Monday, Arachi said Iran presented a clear plan and fair terms for a diplomatic exit, with Douah and Islamabad playing active roles, including dozens of phone calls and intensive diplomacy. "We announced our specific conditions and presented our planned plan; now everything depends on how much political rationality exists on the American side and whether there is a will to take the smart path of diplomacy or, as in previous cases, drag the situation into aggression and military operations," he said. The foreign minister warned that any renewed military test or deception on the part of the enemy would attract a reaction "harder and more remorseful than before". Ardachi emphasized that Iran does not face coercion. He reiterated that the reopening of the Straits of Hormuz and the full resumption of talks would have directly converged on Iran's unconditional acceptance of "appropriate terms." During his visit to Turkmenistan, Archie said that strengthening ties with neighbors is an "unchanging priority" of Iran's foreign policy. The top diplomat described the trip as productive and aimed at monitoring key bilateral projects in the field of energy, transit and the economy, in line with agreements reached by the two presidents on the sidelines of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Summit in Awaza.
