Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh says war is not a solution to resolve the ongoing crisis, stressing that diplomacy remains the only viable path forward amid a stalemate in talks with the US, Anadolu reports.

Addressing a virtual conference themed, ‘’The US-Israeli Aggression Against Iran: Scenarios Ahead’, he says military approaches only deepen instability and prolong conflicts.

“War is not a solution; it is part of the problem,” Khatibzadeh says, stressing that all alternatives to diplomacy are “unattractive”.
