Iran's negotiating team protests Trump ‘threats'
Iranian Parliament Speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf urged the U.S. on June 21 to be “cautious” in its rhetoric following threats by U.S. President Donald Trump, saying Iran’s armed forces are “ready to respond” to American threats.
In a post on the social media platform X, Qalibaf questioned the effectiveness of U.S. pressure on Tehran.
“Do they not ask themselves that if their threats had any effect, they would not have reached this state of despair today? We do not rely on American threats,” he wrote.
He added that U.S. officials “should be cautious in their statements,” warning that “our armed forces are fully prepared to respond in a different way.”
