Iran says it has submitted a comprehensive proposal to bring about a permanent end to the US-Israeli aggression against the country, insisting that it is now up to the United States to decide whether it wants a deal or confrontation.

Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, shared the country’s official stance on the ongoing efforts to negotiate a deal with the US during a meeting with a number of foreign ambassadors in Tehran.

Gharibabadi said that Iran is fully and resolutely prepared to repel any renewed act of aggression against the country, although it also believes in interest-based diplomacy to resolve existing issues.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has submitted its plan to Pakistan as the mediator with the aim of permanently ending the imposed war, and now the ball is in the US court to choose between a diplomatic solution or a continuation of the confrontational approach,” he said.

The diplomat said, however, that Iran has always approached talks with the US with a sense of distrust because of Washington’s track record in previous rounds of negotiations.
