However, Tehran remains committed to dialogue, provided Washington displays genuine willingness to pursue a diplomatic solution, Ali Bahraini, Iran’s Permanent Representative to the UN in Geneva, has said.

He emphasized that "as long as the United States shows a sincere readiness to engage with Iran and address the issues at hand, Iran is prepared to continue negotiations and maintain open channels of dialogue."

Bahraini further underscored a clear stance: "It should now be evident to all parties that military measures against Iran are futile. Such actions must be permanently removed from the list of possible options."
