Iran warns of ‘all-out war in region’ if Israel and US strike nuclear sites
[IsraelTimes] Top Iranian diplomat says attack would be ‘one of the biggest historical mistakes the US could make,’ urges unfreezing of sanctioned funds

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
will respond immediately and decisively if its nuclear sites are attacked which would lead to an "all-out war in the region," Tehran’s foreign minister told Al Jazeera TV in an interview aired on Friday.

Israel and the US launching a military attack on Iranian nuclear facilities would be "one of the biggest historical mistakes the US could make," Abbas Araghchi said through a translator.

Concerns have grown among Iran’s top decision-makers that US President Donald Trump
...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party...
might in his second term empower Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to strike Iran’s nuclear sites while further tightening US sanctions on its oil industry.

Those concerns, coupled with mounting anger within Iran over economic conditions, could drive Tehran toward engaging in negotiations with the Trump administration over the fate of its fast-advancing nuclear program.

Araghchi suggested that the United States could free blocked Iranian funds as a first confidence-building step between the two hostile countries.
How about "NO"?
"Iranian assets and funds have been frozen at various points by the US (which) has not fulfilled its previous pledges (to free them). These things can be done by the US administration in order to bring confidence between us," Araghchi said.

In 2018, then-President Trump reneged on the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and a group of world powers and re-imposed harsh US sanctions as part of his "maximum pressure" policy against the country.

In response, Tehran breached the deal in several ways including by accelerating its uranium enrichment.

Trump has vowed to return to the policy he pursued in his previous term that sought to use economic pressure to force the country to negotiate a deal on its nuclear program, ballistic missile program and regional activities.
