“Trump wants to turn talks into signing a surrender. But we do not accept dialogue conducted in an atmosphere of constant threats“, Ghalibaf wrote in X.
The Iranian parliament speaker added that his country is “ready to demonstrate a new balance of power on the battlefield“ and preparations for this, he said, “have been underway for the past two weeks“.

The illegal behavior of the United States and the contradictory positions of its leaders are incompatible with the requirements of diplomacy, and Iran, observing the behavior of the other side, will take the appropriate decision to protect its interests and national security,“ the statement said.
