Iran’s Araghchi Says War Cannot End Through Force or Sanctions, Demands US Accept Terms

TEHRAN: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that the ongoing war against Iran can be ended neither through military force nor through an increase in sanctions.

According to him, for this to happen, the United States must accept Iran’s demands and conditions.

Citing a report by Qatari broadcaster, Araghchi said the way to end the war lies in adopting a language of respect rather than the use of force.

He said the United States must take practical steps on Iran’s demands and conditions.

The Iranian foreign minister made clear that the dispute cannot be resolved merely through military operations or economic pressure.

He said that to end the war, the United States must engage with Iran respectfully and seriously, and act on the demands Tehran has put forward.

The statement comes at a time when military tensions between the United States and Iran persist and diplomatic efforts are also continuing.

However, the Iranian foreign minister did not provide details of these demands and conditions. There has been no immediate response from Washington to his latest remarks.
