No such thing as ‘military option’ let alone ‘military solution’ to nuclear issue

“Diplomatic engagement worked in the past and can still work. BUT, it should be clear to all that there is—by definition—no such thing as a ‘military option’ let alone a ‘military solution,’” he wrote on X on Tuesday.

The foreign minister cited past US military interventions in the region, which he said have cost over $7 trillion, as evidence of the catastrophic consequences of such a move.

Araghchi said Iran was committed to its pledge under the 2015 nuclear agreement never to seek, develop, or acquire nuclear weapons.
