Iran says he is ready to react and accuses Israel of wanting to knock him down
Declaration does not specify conditions. Iran’s Foreign Minister, Araqchi Abbas, had said earlier that there should be guarantees that there would be no new attacks against Tehran. He also stated that the country should not be prevented from enriching uranium and would refuse to discuss extra-nuclear topics, such as its ballistic missile program.
Negotiations are stopped. Tehran and Washington made five rounds of Oman mediated negotiations before Israel’s bombing. Since then, the conversations have not resumed.
Iran is pressured to resume conversations. The US and European countries imposed the end of August as a deadline for negotiations for a deal that limit the use of nuclear energy by progressed tehran. Otherwise, they threaten to impose sanctions.
Both in the diplomatic and military field, whenever we enter the scene, we do it with our hands busy and not in a position of weakness.

Enemies wanted to knock him down, accuses Ayatola
For the Iranian Supreme Leader, Israel wanted to “weaken the system” when he attacked Iran. In a statement published on his website today, Khamenei said that his rival’s goal was to destabilize Tehran, provoke “disorders and take people to the streets” to overthrow him.
