Iran Warns of Strong Response to Any Fresh Attack, Remains Open to Diplomacy

Baghaei was responding to reports of a possible US attack on Mount Kolang in Iran’s central Isfahan province, where Washington claims Tehran stores highly enriched uranium. Reaffirming Iran’s military preparedness, the spokesman said the country’s armed forces were ready to repel any aggression. He added that Tehran had conveyed its demands to Washington through Qatar, but considered the US response insufficient.

The Iranian spokesman reiterated that Tehran remained committed to its seven conditions, which include ending the war on all fronts, releasing Iran’s frozen funds and lifting the US naval blockade. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Major General Mohsen Rezaei, had previously confirmed that the conditions were communicated through Qatari mediators and that Tehran was awaiting US President Donald Trump’s response. Baghaei maintained that accepting the conditions would serve Washington’s interests and help advance diplomatic efforts.
