Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Al Jazeera that his country does not rule out the possibility of an attack against Iran, stating, "We do not rule out any possibility regarding the outbreak of war, and we are prepared for all scenarios." Araghchi added that Iran has upgraded its weaponry, addressed vulnerabilities, tested new arms, and its forces are at the highest level of readiness. He acknowledged the effects of US-imposed economic pressure but affirmed that Iran "will not surrender" and will continue to resist.
