Iranian Army: US bases in region easily reachable
Shafaq News- Tehran
US military bases in the region are “easy to reach,” Iranian Army spokesperson Amir Akrami Nia stated on Thursday, stressing that Iran is prepared to defend itself and respond to any attack.
Speaking to state television, he noted that the proximity of US bases makes them more vulnerable, increasing what he described as their exposure to risk, while calling on US President Donald Trump to “choose between reconciliation and war.”
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi affirmed that nuclear talks with the United States will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday in Muscat.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed that engaging Iran in talks does not amount to a concession. He said Washington is willing to enter talks to assess whether progress is possible, while remaining skeptical of the outcome. Any dialogue, he added, must address Iran’s ballistic missile program and would proceed only if Tehran demonstrates seriousness.
