FM Zarif rules out US-Iran war, but says ‘accidents’ possible
Tehran (KNA) - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif dismisses the likelihood of a war between Iran and the United States but says certain "accidents" might ignite a military confrontation.
In a recent interview with the British online newspaper Independent at Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York, Zarif said although he did not think a war between Iran and the US was imminent, "accidents can happen" that then spiral into a "military conflict."
In response to a question about the nature of such accidents, Zarif gave the example of a recent move by US President Donald Trump to put Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) on its blacklist of foreign "terrorist" organizations.
