Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Friday that Iran is ready for both dialogue and war, and expressed hope that the US would “act in a sense of rationality.”

“Contrary to the hype and media war, structural arrangements for negotiations are progressing,” Iranian Supreme National Security Council chief Ali Larijani wrote in an X post late Saturday.

The message follows comments by President Trump Friday about potential for a “deal,” and a veiled threat that “if we don’t make a deal, we’ll see what happens.”
Foreign Minister Araghchi warned in a press conference Friday that a repeat of June 2025-style aggression would be met with a similar response, and that Iran is even more prepared today than it was then.
