US EditionIran ready to fight back if US or Israel attacks again, says foreign minister
Iran's foreign minister said Tehran seeks respectful talks with the US and is ready for war if attacked, citing failed US-Israel strategies and unprecedented regional threats.
- On Thursday, Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran does not want war but will fight back if attacked again during his two-day visit to Beirut, Lebanon.
- Following February's reimposition of a `maximum pressure` campaign, Iran said `America and Israel have tested their attack on Iran` after Israel killed top officials and the U.S. bombed enrichment sites.

- Framing past operations as failures, Tehran set conditions for negotiations by saying America and Israel tested their attack on Iran and it faced extreme failure, while Abbas Araghchi stressed talks need mutual respect not dictation.
