Iran ready for talks with US based on mutual respect: FM

At a press conference in Tehran, Iran Foreign Minister Araghchi accused the U.S. and Israel of playing a direct role in recent unrest across Iran. He said the Iranian government has obtained evidence showing that the recent disturbances, including attacking police stations and burning public facilities, were carried out by “terrorists” backed by the U.S. and Israel.

The Iranian government announced a three-day nationwide mourning period from Monday to honor police officers, security personnel, and civilians killed during the disturbances. Security has been reinforced across Tehran, with police increasing patrols in key locations and blocks.
