🔸Abbas Araghchi said in an interview with Al Jazeera on Saturday, February 6, that in the event of a U.S. attack, "we will tell the Americans and the countries in the region that we will target the American forces stationed in the region, not the countries in the region, and there is a difference between the two."
Regarding the possibility of war with the U.S., he stated, "This possibility always exists," but the Islamic Republic is "prepared for both peace and war."
The Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, who traveled to Qatar to participate in a conference, emphasized once again that the Islamic Republic's missile program "is never negotiable," as it is considered a "defensive" matter.
He also referred to uranium enrichment as Iran's "inalienable right" that "must continue" and stated that even military attacks have not been able to eliminate the country's nuclear capabilities. However, Araghchi added that Tehran is ready to reach a "reassuring agreement" regarding enrichment.
Despite these positions, Donald Trump, the President of the United States, expressed satisfaction with the results of the initial negotiations and stated that discussions would likely continue "mid-week," although he simultaneously warned that if no agreement is reached, "very bad consequences" await Iran.

🔸The website Eghtesad Online, quoting Mojgan Khanloo, spokesperson for Iran's Budget Headquarters, wrote that "the minimum wage next year will see a 43% increase."
In this context, the ISNA news agency reported on Saturday: "The government intends to increase salaries and wages by 23% to 42% in the budget bill for the next year [1405], which means the minimum wage will be 18 million and 659 thousand tomans."
In this method of wage increase, according to reports from news agencies in Iran, the goal has been to ensure that "individuals with lower incomes receive a higher percentage increase."
This increase requires approval of the law in the open session of the parliament and confirmation by the Guardian Council.
