On the 4th, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi told foreign envoys in Iran that
Tehran combines "dignified diplomacy" with a firm defense of national security.
He said Iran is ready to pursue a just solution via diplomacy, but warned that
if military aggression recurs Tehran is prepared to deliver a heavier
retaliatory response, adding that illegal war and new sanctions cannot resolve
the crisis and that only negotiations based on dignity, justice and fairness can
end the conflict.
