Iran FM says White House must choose between deal and war

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday that the White House must choose between a deal and war, according to a post he published on the social media platform X. Referring to the outcome of the recent US elections, Araghchi wrote that American voters have made their choice and that it is now the White House's turn to choose.

The foreign minister said Iran's two-day proposal remains on the table and called on the United States to accept its terms and observe the results of its implementation. He identified an end to the war on all fronts as one of the demands contained in the proposal.

Araghchi also issued a warning about the consequences should Washington opt for a military path. He said that if the United States chooses war, it will see how Iran's fighters on the battlefield respond, describing them as alert and battle-hardened.

The statement comes amid ongoing tensions over Iran-US relations and the broader regional conflict. The foreign minister's remarks frame the current moment as a decision point for Washington following the US elections.

According to Mehr News, the post was published on Sunday and included both the call for the United States to accept the proposal and the warning about the military option.
