️🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakhchi stated that although Iran prefers diplomacy, they will defend themselves if attacked and the consequences of such a war would be unparalleled:.
"We have repeatedly said that just as we are fully prepared to defend ourselves, we are also ready to engage in diplomacy and find a negotiated solution. We stated our terms and presented our plan.
Now it depends on America how much political rationality exists on their side and whether they are willing to follow the path of wisdom, the path of diplomacy and negotiation.
Or they want to follow the military path as in the past.
We are ready for both, more ready than ever. If they feel like testing us one more time, they know the consequences will be worse than before."
