Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi Says Tehran Never Asked for Ceasefire, Ready to Defend Against Trump Claims
March 16, 2026
Iran Responds to Ongoing War
In a recent statement, Abbas Araghchi said Iran is prepared to defend itself against attacks from the United States and Israel “for as long as it takes.”
Araghchi’s remarks came after Donald Trump indicated that Washington is not yet ready to end the war or pursue a deal, signaling that the conflict could continue.
Iranian officials say their actions are part of what they describe as self-defense, while tensions across the region continue to escalate.
