Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has said Iran is “prepared for any action” by the US as Donald Trump weighs his options for intervention.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Araghchi said Iran’s readiness “is much greater” than it was when the US conducted military strikes on Iran in June 2025. He added that he hoped “the wise option is chosen”.
President Trump’s national security team is expected to hold a meeting at the White House to discuss options for Iran, officials told the BBC’s US partner CBS News.
Trump has been briefed on a wide range of covert and military tools for use in Iran, which include long-range missile strikes and cyber operations, two Department of Defense officials told CBS.
The two sources said that any US military response in Iran will likely involve air power, but that planners are also considering options to disrupt Iranian command structures and communications.
