Tehran would continue Iran-US nuclear talks but is not afraid of threats. "We are not seeking war," he said.
Iran and the Europeans agreed to hold further talks if needed, Iran's deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi said.

The primary goal of the trip is to secure investment deals from Gulf states that would support economic initiatives in the US.
Witkoff's remarks come just days before Trump’s scheduled visit to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar next week.
Last week, Trump said the current nuclear talks between his country and the Islamic Republic were going "very well."
