Araghchi tells Russia Iran will monitor US behaviour before acting

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said Tehran will closely watch US actions before deciding its next steps, stressing that any move will be guided by national interests and security.

According to Iranian state media, Araghchi made the remarks during talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, as tensions with Washington remain high.

He said Iran would “monitor US behaviour and take the appropriate decision to protect its interests and national security.”

The comments come amid ongoing friction over US military actions and stalled negotiations, with Tehran repeatedly warning it will respond to any escalation. –Agencies
