Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday that there would be no military solution to the United States’ war against the Islamic Republic, with talks on ending the war between the two countries apparently at an impasse. “If our enemies again choose the path of military confrontation, our response will be stronger than before, and we will defend ourselves with even more force,” Araghchi said at a gathering of foreign ambassadors. "There is no military solution, nor any solution based on new sanctions," he continued, adding "only negotiations based on justice and fairness" could end the conflict.
