Iran’s foreign minister says his country is prepared to continue attacks for as long as necessary and rules out talks after US President Donald Trump said the war with Iran would be over “soon.”
“The firing continues, and we are well prepared to continue attacking them with our missiles as long as needed, and as long as it takes,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi tells US broadcaster PBS News.
Araghchi says that negotiations with the United States are no longer on the agenda.
“We have a very bitter experience of talking with Americans,” he says, noting that both US attacks on Iran, in June and now, came following unsuccessful negotiations between the countries. Talks are not “on our agenda anymore,” he says.
He claims that the US and Israel “failed” to achieve regime change in Iran in the war’s opening days, and are now “aimless.”
