Iran is ready to defend itself against "excessive demands or adventurism" by the United States, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Friday ahead of Omani-mediated talks with US officials.
The Iranian republic will take the "approach of using diplomacy to secure Iran's national interests", Araghchi said during a meeting in Muscat with Badr al-Busaidi, foreign minister of Oman.
Iran maintains "full readiness to defend the country's sovereignty and national security against any excessive demands or adventurism" by the United States, Araghchi added, as US President Donald Trump refuses to rule out military action against Tehran.
