Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke on Meet the Press. He said Iran is ready if fighting resumes.

Araghchi said Iran would stand firm against any aggression. He also said Iran was ready for a doomsday war.

Still Araghchi said talks were the only way to break the deadlock. He said Iran had not given up on diplomacy.

His comments came after President Trump rejected an Iranian proposal. The proposal aimed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Reports say Trump wants to resume bombing after the midterm elections. This was cited as context for Araghchi's warning about standing firm.
