The Iranian mission to the UN posted on X that Tehran is "ready for dialogue with the US," but emphasized that "if pushed, we will defend ourselves and respond like never before."
This statement was released amid security tensions surrounding a possible American attack, and after US President Donald Trump sent threats toward Iran today, urging it to "hurry to the negotiating table" and warning that "time is running out."
The Iranians added: "The last time the US got entangled in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, it wasted more than $7 trillion and more than 7,000 Americans lost their lives."
Meanwhile, more stories have emerged from Iran of the horrific nature of the regime crackdown.
KAN's Mark Weiss spoke about developments in Iran with Dr Thamar Gindin from Haifa University’s EZRI Center.
