Iran is actively seeking assistance from various countries, including Russia and Gulf states like Qatar, to prevent conflict with the US. Recognizing the seriousness of US threats, Tehran has indicated a willingness to engage in talks but is hesitant to make concessions, knowing the US desires tangible outcomes.

Despite Tehran’s firm stance on its missile capabilities, US President Trump suggests Iran may prefer negotiations over military action.
