Iran's foreign minister said Tehran remains ready for a "doomsday" war with the United States if necessary, while emphasizing that diplomacy remains on the table, according to CNBC.
The minister said talks are the only way to break the current deadlock between the two countries, signaling that Iran has not closed the door on negotiations despite its warning of readiness for conflict.
Separately, Iran's navy said it is analyzing data from a U.S. underwater drone it captured, CNBC reported, though details on the circumstances of the drone's capture were not included in the report.
The dual messaging, preparedness for war paired with an openness to dialogue, reflects the broader dynamic that has characterized Iran-US relations amid disputes over Iran's nuclear program and regional tensions.
CNBC's report did not specify a timeline for potential talks or indicate whether either side has made new proposals since the remarks were made.
