New Delhi: US President Donald Trump has been repeatedly threatening military intervention in Iran as the country witnesses one of the biggest protests in years. Now, in response to the US’ continuous threats, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has declared Iran does not want war, but if the need arises, it is fully prepared for it. While speaking at a conference of the foreign ambassadors broadcast on state television in Tehran, Araghchi said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran does not seek war, but it is fully prepared for war. We are also ready for talks, but such talks must be fair, based on equal rights, and founded on mutual respect.”

Talking about the current situation in Iran, Araghchi remarked that after protests across the country, “the situation is now completely under control.” However, he did not place any evidence. It is major to note that the Iranian government is facing its biggest protests since 2022. According to the reports, hundreds of people have been killed in violent demonstrations. The government of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has shut down the internet in Iran, making it difficult to determine the exact death toll.
