Iran says Washington in ‘state of confusion’ over conflict

New Delhi,May 15, (dpa/GNA) – Iran’s foreign minister on Friday, accused the United States of pursuing an inconsistent and erratic foreign policy.
At a press conference in New Delhi on Friday, Abbas Araghchi said the US government was sending mixed signals. “The messages we receive from the American side vary from day to day. Sometimes we even receive several different messages in a single day,” said Araghchi.

As an example, the minister cited remarks by President Donald Trump, who had expressed outrage at a proposal for negotiations from Iran.  “After that, however, we again received messages from the American side indicating that they are interested in continuing the talks and further interaction,” Araghchi said on the sidelines of the BRICS foreign ministers’ meeting.

He said the US was in a “state of confusion” and had no strategy to end the war.  “Every day they name different targets. We really hope that reason and wisdom will return to the White House,” said Araghchi. Iran is prepared for all options, the minister continued. “Either we return to the battlefield and to war, or we return to the negotiating table, hold talks and pursue the path of diplomacy.”  His country is prepared for both options, he said. “It makes no difference to us.”
