Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that Iran was prepared for a “doomsday war” after President Donald Trump rejected its ceasefire offer.
Trump publicly confirmed that he rejected an Iranian ceasefire offer on Saturday, one that offered a halt on attacks on Strait of Hormuz shipping and a resumption of nuclear talks in return for the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade. In an appearance on NBC News’s Meet the Press, Araghchi was asked about a report from the Wall Street Journal claiming that Trump may seek a return to intensive bombing after the midterm elections. In response to the two developments, Araghchi said Iran was confident in its position in the case of a resumption of the war.
