Tehran: Minister of Foreign Affairs Seyyed Abbas Araghchi has warned against the new US adventurism. 'Every time a diplomatic solution is on the table, the U.S. opts for a reckless military adventure,' Araghchi wrote in a post on his X account on Friday. 'Is it a crude pressure tactic? Or the result of a spoiler once again duping POTUS into another quagmire?' he asked. He added, 'Whatever the causes, outcome is the same: Iranians never bow to pressure and diplomacy is always the victim.'

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Araghchi also addressed a CIA report concerning Iran's missile stockpile. He stated, 'The CIA is wrong. Our missile inventory and launcher capacity are not at 75% compared to Feb 28,' adding, 'The correct figure is 120%. As for our readiness to defend our people: 1,000%.'
