Iran warned the US about the consequences of a military scenario against the country

TEHRAN, Oct 13 - RIA Novosti. If Washington again chooses a military scenario regarding Iran, this will entail consequences beyond the region, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic Kazem Gharib-Abadi told RIA Novosti.

“This situation is very clear: they are the ones who must adapt to the realities of the region and look for solutions based on diplomacy. If they want to repeat the mistakes of the past and follow the path of military scenarios and threats, most of the consequences of this will even go beyond the region. It is they who now have to make a choice which path to follow,” Gharib-Abadi said.

The deputy minister noted that Iran has always taken a constructive position regarding diplomacy and negotiations, but is ready for any scenario.

NBC previously reported, citing sources, that US President Donald Trump and his national security team have discussed options for possibly resuming large-scale military operations against Iran in the coming weeks, including before the midterm congressional elections on November 3. At the same time, Trump himself later said that the United States would not attack Iran before the midterm elections.
