Iran 'Fully Prepared' To Resume War, We Don't Trust Trump: Iran FM
Iran 'Fully Prepared' To Resume War, We Don't Trust Trump: Iran FM The two big weekend Iran war developments are 1) President Trump has rejected Tehran's seven day ceasefire roadmap proposal, and reportedly plans to resume bombing Iran - likely after the November midterm elections; 2) the Iranian government announced Sunday its forces have struck 19 ships in the Strait of Hormuz over the past two nights, per Fars News Agency. The Fars report indicated the Iranians hit 12 vessels Friday night and 7 more Saturday - though Western sources have been slow to report or confirm this, and the Pentagon has not initially commented. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has meanwhile once again emphasized in the wake of Trump's rejection of the latest proposal that on the one hand Tehran stands 'ready' for renewed fighting and won't back down - and on the other has not yet abandoned diplomacy. JPost/Getty Images"We are fully prepared for the war to be resumed. We stand firm in the face of any new aggression, even if it comes to a doomsday war," Araghchi told NBC News Meet the Press on Sunday. He was specifically asked about the Friday Wall Street Journal report which strongly suggested Trump is ready to resume bombing the Islamic Republic after the midterms. But Araghchi offered the key caveat and opening: "At the same time, we stand ready for diplomacy. It is up to President Trump to choose," he said. The top Iranian diplomat further make clear his country is not backing off its initial conditions to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz: Our proposal is very clear. We are ready to open the strait if certain things are done by the U.S. And these certain things are not new, have not come from the space. These are our rights, that we want to be respected. First of all, we want to end this war of aggression. They started this war eight months ago with the hope that in two, three days, you know, they can win the war. It's now eight months. And we want it to be ended. We want our money, our assets, which are illegally frozen, to be released. We want, you know, to be able to sell our oil. So we want certain things that the U.S. has already committed itself to in the previous, you know, deals. The main conditions can be summarized as the end of the war on all fronts, the release of frozen assets and the end of the naval blockade. The NBC show host tried to hold Araghchi down on Iran's insistence that its funds be unfrozen and returned - which is proving a tall ask from a White House which has unleashed its 'Economic D-Day' campaign seeking to totally isolate Iran. The interview transcript is quite illustrative of the main impasse: KRISTEN WELKER: But Mr. Foreign Minister, the ambassador's point was the United States is not going to unfreeze assets on the front end. It's not going to lift sanctions on the front end. Is it possible to negotiate a new peace plan at this juncture? Or has diplomacy failed? FOREIGN MINISTER ABBAS ARAGHCHI: Well, why aren't they ready to release our money? It is our own money. It is not, you know, any other's money. KRISTEN WELKER: Because they want to see some actionable items from Iran, like opening the Strait of Hormuz, before they do that. Has diplomacy failed, Mr. Foreign Minister? FOREIGN MINISTER ABBAS ARAGHCHI: Well, there is always hope for diplomacy. But to be honest with you, we have no reason to come back to diplomacy and engage with this administration once again, because of how they've behaved in the past two years. You know, in 2025 they offered negotiations... And so clearly the situation is back to square one in terms of the stalemate that's been on from the beginning, and has persisted for seven months, as Washington finds itself in yet another quagmire in the Middle East. 🔺 Iran says it struck 19 ships in the Strait of Hormuz over the past two nights, Fars News Agency reported Sunday, after Kpler reported over 20 million barrels of crude and products exiting the US blockade line as 7-day average. Iranian forces hit 12 vessels Friday night and 7… https://t.co/UnVeYf99k0 pic.twitter.com/LP8tZknZqo — Drop Site (@DropSiteNews) September 27, 2026 Regional analyst and editor of Amwaj.media, Mohammad Ali Shabani, concludes of weekend events: "The next phase of the war will likely revolve around destroying Iran's economic infrastructure. The method is collective immiseration until desperate Iranians with nothing to lose will do the regime change." This of course sets the US on a trajectory of yet another 'forever war' in the region. Trump, it seems, may also opt for bombing in search of a 'better deal' - though this will simultaneously ensure a more hardline resistance will be entrenched in decision-making centers in Tehran.

More questions than answers after major incident near RAF Fairford
More questions than answers after major incident near RAF Fairford - Published RAF Fairford is a slice of America in the heart of England; a forward operating base for the US Air Force since the Cold War. Its two-mile runway is so long it was once an emergency backup for the US space shuttle programme. Now it is a vital launchpad for the vast, lumbering bombers President Donald Trump uses to strike Iran, the only airbase with such capabilities available to the US in Europe. And that – by definition – has long made it a potential target. What we know about RAF Fairford counter-terror probe - Published2 hours ago In July, Iran's foreign ministry accused the UK of being complicit in war crimes for allowing the US to use Fairford as a staging post for defensive strikes in its war against Tehran. And it warned "any party that, in any manner, participates in military aggression against Iran will bear responsibility for the consequences and repercussions of its decision". That was seen as an explicit threat. There is also a stalemate in diplomatic efforts to end the war. That has given rise to speculation Iran could seek to step up pressure on the US, perhaps with an attack outside the Middle East, to try to shift the dial ahead of the US midterm elections in November. When Ed Miliband met his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi at the United Nations last week, the foreign secretary explicitly warned of the UK's "unwavering resolve to combat threats from Iranian-linked groups" and said it would not tolerate any "hostile activity" on UK soil. But some eyes, too, have turned to Moscow. Danish intelligence warned last week Russia could in the coming months launch a limited military attack on a Nato country. Germany has already formally accused Russia of using a drone carrying explosives in an attempted attack on Leipzig in August. Over the summer, the Russian embassy in London warned the UK against allowing Ukraine to use British drones deep inside Russian territory: "The deeper [the UK's] involvement in the conflict and the greater its support for Kyiv's terrorist machinery, the higher price it will pay." That, too, was seen as a direct threat. There are also possibilities of some kind of Islamist attack, or even an incident of direct action by a group opposed to both the US-Israeli war on Iran or the use of UK bases to launch strikes. One central question is whether the authorities were prepared for such an attack. The US handles security within the base; the UK is responsible all threats outside the perimeter. What did the authorities know? President Trump said the suspects had been under investigation "for a long time". But there are also suggestions the incident was foiled only because a passing driver reported strange vans to the police. At the time of the explicit Iranian threat against the UK, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said: "Our armed forces are ready to keep the United Kingdom safe from any kind of attacks, whether it's on our soil or from abroad. The UK stands ready 24/7 to defend itself." So for now, there remain more questions that facts. Was a hostile foreign state involved, or were proxies acting on its behalf? What was intended and what was the potential risk to local people? One thing is clear: the threat from conflicts involving the UK will not always stay overseas.

Trump says U.S.-Iran talks will continue this week despite rejecting latest offer
U.S. and Iranian officials said Sunday they still see a chance of a negotiated solution to the Iran war despite President Donald Trump’s rejection of Tehran’s latest offer. Trump told Axios on Sunday that he expected U.S. negotiators to continue indirect talks with Iran this week. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. But hostile rhetoric on both sides underscored the difficulty of any diplomatic efforts. “We are fully prepared for the war to be resumed. … We stand firm in the face of any new aggression, even if it comes to a doomsday war,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told NBC News on Sunday. At the same time, he said, “we stand ready for diplomacy. It is up to President Trump to choose.” “If they are serious that they want a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, now there is the possibility,” Araghchi said. On Saturday, Trump said he had rejected Iran’s latest proposal to end the war. “They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately because they’re losing so badly,” Trump told reporters. But Axios reported that Trump had confirmed during a Sunday phone interview that there were plans for indirect talks. “I expect more talks with Iran [this week]. They want to make a deal, but it is not the deal that I want to make. It is what we would have maybe agreed to a year ago. They overplayed their hand,” Trump said, according to Axios. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz told NBC News‘s “Meet the Press” that the recent Iranian proposal was a “cynical attempt to put something on the table that they knew was unacceptable.” The proposal included demands that the United States lift sanctions on Iran, release frozen assets and end the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports, he said. “At the end of the day, of course, this has to end in some type of arrangement. But he’s going to leave all options on the table to get there,” Waltz told NBC News. Araghchi had said Tehran’s offer was similar to the memorandum of understanding both sides reached in June. Both Araghchi and Waltz accused the other’s country of engaging in negotiations only to violate their terms. “Again they offered negotiation, again we accepted, and again they attacked us in the middle of negotiations. … But I am still trying diplomacy because I think we shouldn’t miss any chance for peace,” Araghchi said. Waltz told NBC News it was “common sense” that the president did not have much confidence in Iran’s offer after the country violated the memorandum of understanding brokered in June. Negotiations between Iran and the U.S., both directly and indirectly, to end the war have been on and off since a few weeks after it began on Feb. 28. In June, both countries reached an initial truce, signing a memorandum of understanding that included a two-month timeline to hammer out terms for lasting peace, including tackling differences over Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions and control over the Strait of Hormuz. The ceasefire quickly unraveled, and the 60-day deadline passed last month with no breakthroughs. Iranian officials pursued a flurry of diplomatic meetings in New York last week during the U.N. General Assembly. Trump administration officials held talks with the Iranian delegation through mediators, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said in an X post. Trump had told the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday that Iran could make a deal to end the war or face “annihilation.” The Iranian delegation walked out of the chamber. The following day, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told the U.N. that Iran was “ready for dialogue and diplomacy and negotiations without accepting the language of force.” Related ContentThis article originally appeared on Washington Post at https://washingtonpost.com/world/2026/09/27/trump-says-us-iran-slated-indirect-talks-despite-his-rejection-offer/
