Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi believes that his country can end its military confrontation with the United States and move to a negotiated settlement of the conflict once it gains an advantage on the battlefield.
“Ending the war is possible either through an absolute military victory or through negotiations. The right time for negotiations is precisely the moment when you have achieved solid tactical and strategic gains on the military front,” Araghchi said in an interview with IRNA, as cited by Al Jazeera.
According to the publication, the foreign minister said that Iran would end its military confrontation with the United States when it has “an advantage on the battlefield.”
According to the minister, determining the moment to cease hostilities and begin negotiations is of the utmost importance.
“You cannot risk people’s lives and the fate of the country. Decisions must be made on the basis of precise and comprehensive calculations,” Araghchi added.
