Iran will not consider negotiations with the United States if Washington continues to use threatening language.

This was stated by the Speaker of Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

He said that US President Donald Trump is trying to present the negotiation process as a form of forced surrender, but Tehran considers such an approach unacceptable.

Qalibaf stressed that Iran will not accept a dialogue accompanied by constant pressure and threats.

He also said that the country was ready to demonstrate a “new balance of power on the battlefield.” According to the speaker, preparations for this have been underway for the past two weeks.
