        "content": "<p>Beirut (ANTARA) \u2013 Iran is seeking to prevent a new conflict with the\nUnited States but remains prepared for any eventuality should a military\nconfrontation occur, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh\ntold Al-Jadeed television on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of Iran\u2019s efforts through diplomacy and cooperation with\nmediators are aimed at preventing war. However, we are ready for various\nscenarios if a new military confrontation with the US takes place,\u201d the\ndiplomat said.<\/p>\n<p>Khatibzadeh said Iran would take steps to strengthen its position in\nthe region if it were attacked again.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, the deputy\nminister accused Washington of using the waterway as a tool in its\nconfrontation with Tehran. He said the situation around the strategic\nsea route could be managed once the existing threats had been\nremoved.<\/p>\n<p>On Lebanon, Khatibzadeh stressed that the Hezbollah movement makes\nits own decisions, including on whether to resume hostilities against\nIsrael. Tehran respects Lebanon\u2019s sovereignty and does not interfere in\nthe country\u2019s domestic affairs.<\/p>\n<p>The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most important routes for\nsupplying oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) to global markets. Threats\nto freedom of navigation through the strait amid the Iran-US\nconfrontation pose additional risks to international trade and energy\nsecurity.<\/p>",
