TEHRAN – Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says no plans have been set for negotiations with the United States at this time.
Speaking at a ceremony in Tehran marking the 40th day since the martyrdom of those who lost their lives during the recent conflict, Araghchi reiterated Iran’s firm stance on defending its sovereignty and the legacy of its fallen heroes.
“No specific arrangements have been made for negotiations yet,” Araghchi told IRIB. “However, should we decide to engage in any talks, our primary objective will be to uphold the blood of the martyrs and the cause for which they gave their lives.”
Earlier at the ceremony held at Imam Khomeini Hussainiya, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei praised Iran’s resilience amid the 12-day war launched by Israel, describing it as a testament to the country’s unshakable strength and steadfast foundations.
“The challenges we face are not new,” Ayatollah Khamenei said, highlighting Iran’s history of overcoming decades of foreign conspiracies, coups, and sedition.
The ceremony was attended by families of the martyrs, senior government and military officials, and thousands of citizens.
