Tehran Talks Peace While Washington Prepares for War
Iran's foreign minister says he wants a diplomatic resolution, but the regime also says it is ready to fight. For many voters, this is the same old double talk.
The United States is preparing for renewed strikes, and for many sovereignty-minded voters this is what the status quo looks like: American forces poised for action while Tehran talks peace out of one side of its mouth.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reiterated on Monday that Tehran wants a diplomatic resolution to the eight-month-old war with the U.S. and Israel. Critics of endless negotiations will see another round of assurances from a regime that has had eight months to show good faith.
Iran says it is prepared for peace but ready for war, and the spokesman for the ruling regime said the country is prepared to fight back if hostilities are renewed. For ordinary citizens who bear the costs of prolonged conflict, this is a reminder that the regime's priorities are not their security.
