Foreign Minister Abbas #Araghchi made Tehran’s stance clear, stating, “we are in favor of the diplomatic path and negotiations, but via mediators. Of course, it should be emphasized that not a single round of such talks has been held yet.” The statement follows threats from US President Donald #Trump, who warned Iran of bombings if it rejects his "nuclear deal." In response, Araghchi firmly rejected the idea of Iran following the model imposed on Libya in 2003, when Libya abandoned its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) program in exchange for sanctions relief, only to later be invaded and see its leader killed. "The US can only dream" of such an outcome with #Iran, he affirmed. ‌Al Mayadeen English (Twitter) Protests erupt in occupied al-Quds and #Washington as families of Israeli prisoners demanded action by Netanyahu to secure their release. #Palestine https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/demonstrations-against-netanyahu-in-occupied-al-quds--washin
