Iran Press / Iran News: At the Iranian mission to the United Nations in New York, Mohammad Javad Zarif talked about the possibility of any war break out between his country and US in the Persian Gulf by saying: "I don’t think he (Trump ) wants war. But that doesn’t exclude him being basically lured into one."
Pointing to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, National Security Adviser John Bolton, the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed, and the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman and dubbing them "the B Team, Zarif warned of the possibility that people could try “to plot an accident” that could trigger a broader crisis, Iran Press reported, quoting Reuters.

Zarif said that "I believe the B Team does not have the same plan as US President Donald Trump has not a plan, but a plot that will cost."
"The plot is to push Iran into taking action. And then use that. It is not a crisis yet but it is a dangerous situation. Accidents, plotted accidents, are possible. I wouldn't discount the B team plotting an accident anywhere in the region particularly as we get closer to the election," Iran's foreign minister said.
"They could goad Trump into a conflict" with Tehran and warned that "Iran is not seeking confrontation, but will not escape defending itself; President Trump believes putting pressure, bullying, will bring us to the negotiating table so he can make this ideal deal he has in mind. I don't know what that deal is," Zarif continued, adding that it won't be possible to get a better deal than the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action that Trump walked away from almost a year ago.
In the other forum in New York, Zarif said Wednesday during his speech at the Asia Society that it is in his country's national security interest to keep Strait of Hormuz open, but “If the United States takes the crazy measure of trying to prevent us from doing that, then it should be prepared for the consequences". 212/ 104
