Iran president: we must prepare ourselves to stand firm

Iran's foreign minister said Tehran remained in close contact with intermediaries on discussing ideas for ensuring implementation of an Iranian proposal aimed at ending the war in the Middle East.

Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Iran continued to give diplomacy a chance to succeed and raised the possibility of the seven-day plan proposed by Tehran being completed in less than a week if implemented.

President Masoud Pezeshkian also said Iran was working to end a state of "neither war nor peace."

Pezeshkian added: "Our dear leader said in a message yesterday that the situation of neither war nor peace must be brought to an end. This is a very significant message. We are now working to make this process and this idea a reality, but until that happens, we must also prepare ourselves to stand firm under any circumstances. And standing firm under any circumstances requires us to prepare ourselves for what comes next."
