Story summary

Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Monday, stating that American voters are tired of what he calls "Forever Wars." He referenced a clip from former President Donald Trump’s interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes" to emphasize his point. According to Araghchi, Americans and the Middle East have grown weary of continuous conflicts in which Israel has played a significant role. On Sunday, Araghchi had also urged the U.S. government to comply with Iran's demands, claiming that the recent midterm elections results indicate American war weariness. He reiterated his proposal from two days prior: if the United States meets Iranian requirements, including ending wars on all fronts, Iran will respond positively. However, he warned of consequences should the U.S. choose to escalate tensions further.
