Iran, Tehran: “Fair nuclear deal is acceptable, but army stands ready with finger on trigger”

Milan, Jan. 28 (LaPresse) – “Our courageous armed forces are ready, with their finger on the trigger, to respond immediately and forcefully to any aggression against our beloved land, air, and sea.” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote this in a post on social media. “The valuable lessons learned from the 12-day war have enabled us to respond even more strongly, quickly, and profoundly,” the post reads, “at the same time, Iran has always welcomed a mutually beneficial, fair and equitable nuclear agreement, on an equal footing and free from coercion, threats and intimidation, which guarantees Iran’s rights to peaceful nuclear technology and ensures the absence of nuclear weapons.” “Such weapons have no place in our security calculations, and we have never sought to acquire them,” Araghchi concludes.
