Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said Iran has not welcomed war, but it must remain ready to fight while pursuing its national security and interests.

Qalibaf added that Iran would also use diplomacy and negotiation, while signaling that such efforts depend on leverage and preparedness.

The comments, reported by Forexlive, point to a widening divide between Iran and the United States, with diplomacy described as possible but unlikely to represent reconciliation.

Forexlive said the rhetoric frames negotiations as another tool to protect strategic interests, leaving the risk of confrontation elevated as both sides stick to separate positions.
