Iran is ready for dialogue, said Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, APA reports.

“We do not want war. But we are fully prepared for war as well. The issue of a preemptive strike before aggression against us is not on the agenda. We are now more prepared than we were during the 12-day war. At the same time, we are also ready for discussions, provided that these talks are conducted fairly, within the framework of mutual rights, respect, and interests. This should not be a dialogue conducted in an atmosphere of dictation or orders,” Araghchi emphasized.
