Iran's Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, has indicated that the country will respond decisively to any threats against its nuclear program. In a statement, he warned that if the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors passes a censure resolution against Iran, the nation will implement new measures in its nuclear program that would be unfavorable to the international community. Araghchi also expressed Tehran's readiness to resume negotiations regarding its nuclear program but cautioned that the opportunity for dialogue would be limited. He criticized the newly nominated members of the Trump administration for their radical support of Israel and reiterated that any attack on Iran's nuclear facilities would be met with a symmetrical response. The situation is evolving as the Trump administration prepares to restore pressure on Iran, prompting the country to adjust its diplomatic strategies accordingly.
