Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi addressed the media, expressing the nation's intent to avoid escalation while firmly stating that Iran will not relinquish its rights to enrich uranium. He emphasized that if the United States seeks dialogue, they know how to reach Iran, highlighting the current lack of communication. Araghchi’s remarks were made amidst tensions with the U.S., as he added that discussions could become possible if American attacks cease.

In his comments, Araghchi defended Iran's nuclear program as being peaceful, insisting that it could lead to agreements that ensure the program’s non-military nature. Nonetheless, he underscored the importance of maintaining the right to uranium enrichment, a critical point of contention in international negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities. These statements come in the context of recent aggressive incidents involving American forces in the region, which have raised concerns over security and potential conflict.

The Foreign Minister also responded to speculation regarding the Iranian leadership's safety during recent strikes, refuting claims of casualties among top commanders and asserting that most officials remain unharmed. He expressed confidence that U.S. President Donald Trump would not succeed in toppling the Iranian regime, framing it as a "mission impossible." Additionally, the Iranian government continues to engage diplomatically with regional allies, calling for a united front to prevent foreign aggression, particularly from the U.S. and Israeli forces, highlighted by his communications with regional counterparts such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
