[Iran’s Foreign Minister: Any act of aggression will usher in a heavier response] On October 4, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said when meeting with envoys from various countries in Iraq that Iran’s firm position is based on both pursuing “dignified diplomacy” and “resolutely defending national security.” He said that Iran has sent a clear signal to its enemies that, on the one hand, it is fully ready to seek a just solution through diplomatic channels; on the other hand, if military aggression occurs again, Iran is also ready to implement a heavier counterattack. Araghchi said that continuing to wage an illegal war against Iran will neither solve the problem through military means nor find a way out through a new round of sanctions. The only way to end this conflict is through negotiations based on the principles of dignity, justice and fairness. (CCTV News)
