Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has urged Washington to accept Tehran’s two-day proposal to end the conflict, warning of further military action if the US chooses war.
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi warned the United States to accept Tehran’s proposal to end hostilities on all fronts or face further military action. In a message directed at the White House, Araghchi said Iran’s two-day proposal remained on the table and challenged Washington to choose between negotiations and war.
“American voters have made their choice. Time for the White House to make its own,” Araghchi wrote in a post on X on Sunday, November 8.
He said the US must meet Iran’s conditions, including an end to the conflict across all fronts, to make progress towards a settlement.
“Our 2-day proposal stands: meet the requirements, including end to war on all fronts, and you will see results. Or choose war, and see our alert and battle-hardened Warriors rain down hell,” he added.
Araghchi Says US Election Results Have Slowed Diplomatic Efforts
Speaking to reporters in Tehran, the Iranian foreign minister said negotiations to end the conflict had slowed following the US midterm election results. He suggested that the political outcome in Washington had affected the atmosphere for diplomatic discussions.
“The main reason is the US election results, which have obviously come as a shock to everyone,” Araghchi was quoted as saying by Al Jazeera.
He said mediators would need time before they could resume their visits and efforts to bring the sides closer.
“It will take some time for things to settle down and for the atmosphere to become conducive to the mediators resuming their visits. We have to wait,” he said.
