Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has described US outreach to Tehran as a positive step. He made the comment in an interview with the Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera on 31 October. An Iranian delegation is currently in Qatar for talks.
In the interview, Araghchi said Tehran does not rule out an attack. He stressed that Iran is prepared for all scenarios.
The source gives no further detail on what the talks cover, who is part of the Iranian delegation, or which specific US move the minister considers positive. Those points remain unclear for now.
The minister's remarks point to a two-sided position from Tehran. Iran welcomes the American approach and has sent a delegation to the talks, yet it does not publicly dismiss the possibility of an attack. The source does not say how the talks in Qatar will proceed.
