Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has made a flurry of statements on renewed US and Israeli threats against his country and the war in general, according to Al Jazeera.

“We are used to these threats,” he tells the IRNA news agency. “They have been repeating their threats in various forms and ways for a long time, but they themselves know that they have not and will not get any results from these threats and even from the war they launched.”

He says there is no military solution to the issues related to Iran, adding that Iran will “not bow down”.

Araghchi adds that the other side should know that it must seek solutions to the issues with Iran in a place other than the military arena.
