- Abbas Araghchi said Iran is open to "real diplomacy" but ready for an "apocalyptic war" if the US attacks again
- Donald Trump expects more talks with Iran this week and claims Washington will win the war "very soon"
- Araghchi issued his warning after Washington rejected a seven-day roadmap to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz
- The rejected seven-day roadmap targeted both ending the war and restoring traffic through the critical oil shipping chokepoint
Why it matters: The US rejection of a seven-day roadmap to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz keeps the conflict going despite Araghchi's stated openness to diplomacy. With Trump claiming Washington will win "very soon" and Iran threatening "apocalyptic war" if attacked again, both sides are publicly committed to maximalist positions ahead of this week's expected talks.
