Iran Rules Out Talks As Conflict Continues
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said Tehran is prepared to continue its missile attacks for as long as necessary and indicated that negotiations with the United States are no longer on the table. His remarks came after US President Donald Trump said the war with Iran would be over “very soon,” highlighting the gap between Washington’s messaging and Tehran’s position.
Abbas Araghchi Rules Out US Talks
In an interview with PBS News, Araghchi said Iran no longer sees renewed talks with the United States as a realistic option. He described previous negotiations as a bitter experience and suggested that Washington had undermined diplomacy through its actions. His comments marked one of Tehran’s clearest public signals yet that any immediate diplomatic track with the US has effectively collapsed.
Iran Says Missile Attacks Will Continue
Araghchi also said Iran was ready to continue missile attacks for as long as required. He argued that recent strikes had not stopped Iran’s military response and said Tehran remained prepared for a prolonged confrontation if needed. The remarks reflected Iran’s effort to project resolve at a time when pressure is building over the direction of the conflict and the possibility of wider regional fallout.
Trump Iran War Comments Add To Tensions
The statement came shortly after Trump said the war with Iran would end very soon, suggesting the conflict would not become a lengthy campaign. Araghchi’s response, however, pointed in the opposite direction by indicating that Tehran will decide the duration of its military response and does not intend to return to talks under current conditions.
The exchange underlines the sharp divergence between US and Iranian public positions as the conflict continues. With diplomacy stalled and military activity still active, the risk of further escalation in West Asia remains high.
