Iran issues ultimatum to US: negotiate or face defeat in war

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi issued a stark ultimatum to the White House on Sunday, demanding a choice between a negotiated agreement or a war he claims the U.S. would lose. Araghchi stated on X that Washington must either accept Iran's two-day-old proposal, which includes ending conflicts on all fronts, or face another U.S. defeat in a full-scale war. He referenced the recent U.S. election results, saying American voters have made their choice and now it is the White House's turn. The statement follows a series of diplomatic exchanges and indirect talks through mediators as tensions between the two nations escalate. Araghchi emphasized the proposal remains on the table and urged the U.S. to accept its terms.
