Iran's Araghchi Says Tehran Ready for 'Doomsday War' Against US, Defends Uranium Enrichment
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran's 60% uranium enrichment is peaceful and treaty-compliant, even as he warned Tehran is prepared for full-scale conflict with Washington.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran is prepared for a "doomsday war" against the United States if attacked, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
In remarks reported by TASS, Araghchi stressed that Iran's enrichment of uranium to 60 percent purity is carried out exclusively for peaceful purposes and remains fully consistent with Tehran's obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).
The statement comes amid a prolonged standoff between Iran and Western powers over the scope and pace of its nuclear program. Iran has long maintained that its nuclear activities are civilian in nature, while the United States and its allies have repeatedly expressed concern that enrichment at that level moves closer to weapons-grade material.
Araghchi's comments reflect Tehran's dual-track posture in the standoff: asserting readiness for confrontation while simultaneously defending the legality of its nuclear activities under international law.
TASS did not report additional details on the specific circumstances prompting the minister's remarks, nor did it indicate any immediate change in Iran's diplomatic posture toward Washington.
