Arakchi gave an interview to NBC News in the USA.
Stating that they want to end the "war of aggression" initiated by the USA, Arakchi said, "They started this war eight months ago with the hope that they could win it in two or three days. But eight months have passed and we want it to end." he said.
Arakçi stated that they heard that the 7-article proposal they conveyed to the USA through mediators was rejected by US President Donald Trump, but they have not yet received an "official response" and said, "There is a very reasonable plan on the table. If they reject it without reason, it would be their fault." he said.

"WE ARE READY FOR THE RESTART OF THE WAR"

Stating that the USA has been fighting fruitlessly for eight months, Arakchi said that new attacks will "definitely" be the same.
Recalling that the USA has attacked Iran many times in the past in the middle of negotiations, Arakchi said, "Actually, there is no reason for us to return to diplomacy, but we are still trying diplomacy because I think we should not miss any opportunity for peace." he said.
