Iran ‘fully prepared’ for war to resume but diplomacy not over yet, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says

Abbas Araghchi said Iran is ready to resume fighting with the United States while still seeking a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated in an NBC News interview that Iran is prepared for a 'doomsday war' while remaining open to diplomacy, emphasizing that President Trump must choose whether to resume negotiations.
  • Araghchi reiterated demands for frozen assets release and oil sales, terms mirroring a Memorandum of Understanding signed in June that collapsed after reciprocal strikes, noting the United States has not formally communicated rejection.
  • President Trump claimed the United States is winning through military and economic pressure, asserting Iran's military is 'shot' and emphasizing that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons remains the primary policy goal.
  • Trump asserted that U.S. economic pressure has 'completely dismantled' Iran's economy, citing inflation rates as high as 318% and describing the Iranian currency as 'valueless,' effectively neutralizing financial and military capacities.
  • When asked whether military strikes could resume before upcoming midterm elections, Trump declined to rule out the possibility, expressing confidence that winning the war soon would lower oil prices significantly.
