Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that if negotiations with Washington fail, Iran is ready for war, and such a conflict would affect the entire region.
He added that the possibility of reaching an agreement with the United States still exists, but Washington is not trustworthy.
Meanwhile, the United States has adopted a defensive posture in the Middle East instead of launching an attack, strengthening its defensive systems to prevent potential retaliatory strikes by Iran, an approach that reflects clear hesitation about initiating an attack.
In Israel as well, opinions are divided regarding the attack. Some Israeli officials believe that Washington may reach an agreement with Tehran, as the United States seeks to avoid a war whose costs would be high and outcomes uncertain.
In addition, Gulf countries are also trying to prevent a potential war between the United States and Iran, and have begun mediation efforts for this purpose.
