Iran foreign ministry spokesman Baghaei said Iran will mobilize all battlefield
and diplomatic resources to defend the nation’s rights. Responding to a question
on talks with the US, he said the ministry will assess the situation based on
national interests and follow the decisions of the competent authorities. He
added that apparent inconsistency and vacillation in US statements will not
deter Iran from fully employing its capabilities, and that Tehran will use
diplomacy as necessary to clarify its position and to safeguard and realize
Iran’s legitimate rights.
