Abbas Araqchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, stated in an interview with "India Today" that Donald Trump rejected claims about the development of Iranian missiles capable of reaching U.S. territory, saying, "Unfortunately, Donald Trump has fallen victim to fake news." He pointed to the U.S. President's remarks about the Islamic Republic's missile program and the issue of enrichment, claiming that the range of Iran's missiles has been "deliberately" limited to 2,000 kilometers and that this capability is defensive in nature. Araqchi asserted that Iran's missiles are designed for deterrence and defense of the country and have no offensive purpose. He also commented on recent conflicts, stating that Iran was not the initiator and assessed its actions within the framework of "legitimate defense."

Abbas Araqchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, told India Today that Donald Trump mentioned a figure of 32,000 casualties from the protests in Iran, but the published list of names shows the number of victims to be 3,117, which is "very regrettable." Araqchi added, "Negotiation and diplomacy are the only options. We are ready to address concerns, but we are not willing to give up our right to the peaceful use of nuclear technology."
