Iran reiterated on Tuesday that it remains committed to diplomacy as the primary tool for resolving disputes, while also warning that it will respond firmly to any threats against its security.
A government spokesperson emphasized that Tehran prefers negotiations and peaceful dialogue, but insisted that this does not mean Iran will remain passive if its sovereignty is challenged. The official stated that all options remain available and that the country is fully prepared to defend itself.
The remarks come amid heightened tensions with the United States and its allies, who have increased military deployments in the region. Tehran’s message appears to reflect a strategy of balancing a diplomatic posture with a show of strength, aimed at deterring potential aggression.
Analysts say the dual message seeks to reassure international actors that Iran still values dialogue, while sending a clear warning to its rivals that any hostile action would trigger a response.
The situation remains fluid as diplomatic efforts continue alongside increased military readiness in the Middle East.
