Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, the country’s Foreign Minister, wrote in a social media post: "American voters have made their choice. Now it is the White House’s turn to choose."

He added: "Our 'two-day proposal' is on the table: accept the demands—including an end to the war on all fronts—and see the results."

The Foreign Minister noted: "Alternatively, choose war, and witness how our vigilant and battle-hardened fighters on the battlefield rain a hell of fire down upon you."
