Iran Warned of Hardship, Unrest if No US Deal in 60 Days
Former Foreign Minister Zarif cautioned that Iran could face further economic hardship, domestic unrest, or renewed military attacks without a final agreement with the US within the proposed 60-day negotiating period.
Former Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif warned that Iran risks increasing economic strain, domestic instability, and potential military strikes if it fails to secure a final agreement with the United States within the 60-day negotiating window.
His remarks highlight the pressure on Tehran as indirect diplomacy continues. Without a deal, the country may see a deepening of current economic difficulties and a possible resurgence of internal protests.
The statement also raises the specter of military escalation, suggesting that the absence of a diplomatic resolution could expose Iran to external attacks.
