Iranian Negotiator Warns of Uncontainable Conflict Risk with US in Event of War
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, has issued a warning to the United States regarding potential acts of aggression. He stated that any military strike would constitute a "real gamble," cautioning that such actions could ignite a war beyond control.
In an interview broadcast by NPR on Tuesday, a statement was made questioning the plausibility of concluding a conflict with a singular strike, characterizing such a move as a significant gamble. The speaker expressed hope that this scenario would not materialize.
An Iranian official has issued a warning, stating that the entirety of the region would face adverse effects under such conditions.
The United States and Iran are gearing up for a new series of indirect negotiations, which are set to commence on February 26 in Geneva.
The United States has deployed what Trump described as an “armada” in the area, issuing a warning of potential military action against Iran should talks falter in achieving a substitute for the 2015 nuclear agreement, which was discarded by Trump in 2018 during his initial term.
Iran has issued a stern warning, indicating that it would respond decisively to any military aggression. The country emphasized that any conflict could potentially place the assets of the United States and its regional allies at risk.
Iran’s negotiator Takht-Ravanchi emphasized that Tehran would not be swayed by Washington’s displays of military strength. He underscored that all parties involved should prioritize diplomatic efforts for the benefit of all.
The deployment of troops and an armada to the region raises questions about the intent behind such military maneuvers. Speculation suggests it may be an attempt to exert pressure on Iran. However, Iran has consistently demonstrated resilience and is unlikely to be easily intimidated by such tactics.
He stated that a military resolution for the Iranian nuclear issue is not feasible. Thus, he emphasized the importance of prioritizing diplomatic efforts over inciting conflict and deploying military forces.
Iran is prepared to finalize an agreement, according to the deputy minister, but a significant advancement relies on all involved parties showing the necessary political will.
Officials have expressed their readiness to finalize an agreement promptly, emphasizing their commitment to taking all necessary measures to achieve this goal. They have pledged to approach the upcoming negotiations in Geneva with full sincerity and goodwill.
The most recent series of indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States in Geneva has wrapped up, resulting in an agreement on a framework of guiding principles intended to steer forthcoming discussions.
The two parties are anticipated to exchange views on their respective draft proposals for a potential agreement in the meeting scheduled for Thursday.
