US EditionIran's top diplomat says there are no plans for talks with the US
Iran signals willingness for negotiation but no direct talks with the U.S. are planned amid threats of military action and over 6,400 protester deaths, Turkish mediation offered.
- On Friday, Abbas Araghchi in Istanbul said Iran is ready for dialogue but has no plans for talks with the United States and is also `ready for war`.
- Protests that began as demonstrations over economic woes escalated, and Iran cracked down on nationwide protests, with activists saying the crackdown killed at least 6,479 people.
- The U.S. military moved the USS Abraham Lincoln and several guided-missile destroyers into the Middle East, but it remains unclear whether President Donald Trump will decide to use force.
- Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered to act as a facilitator between Iran and the U.S., while Hakan Fidan, Turkish Foreign Minister, urged negotiation and opposed military options.
- Araghchi's visit came a day after the European Union agreed to list Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization, and he posted on X that Iran's military is prepared `with their fingers on the trigger`.
