"Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned President Donald Trump that the country will reciprocate in kind whether he chooses the language of force or the language of respect in a Friday interview on Morning Joe as speculation grows that the president is weighing an imminent attack. The remarks come as the US has accelerated its military build-up in the Middle East, even as negotiators from Washington and Tehran reported incremental progress during talks in Switzerland over Iran's nuclear enrichment programme."
"Well, the message is that previous U.S. administrations, even the current U.S. administration, have tried almost everything against us: a war, you know, sanctions, snapback, you know, everything. But none of them worked. If you talk with the Iranian people, with the language of respect, we respond with the same language. But if they talk to us with the language of force, we would reciprocate with the same language."
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi issued a warning that Iran will reciprocate in kind whether addressed with force or respect. U.S. military activity in the Middle East has accelerated, including deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln, amid speculation of a potential imminent attack. Negotiators from Washington and Tehran reported incremental progress during nuclear talks in Switzerland. Tehran told the United Nations that any U.S. bases used to launch attacks would be treated as legitimate targets. U.S. delegations to talks included private and political figures, and questions remain about demands for permanent suspension of enrichment.
