Tehran is prepared to respond if necessary - Iran’s parliament speaker dismisses Trump threats
The Iranian parliament speaker who is also the head negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has dismisses the US threats, saying Tehran is prepared to respond if necessary.
The Tehran’s delegation walked out of the talks with the US in Switzerland in protest against threats made by US President Donald Trump, Iran’s state-affiliated Tasnim news agency reports, citing a source close to the Iranian negotiating team.
American President Donald Trump has threatened the Iranian officials in Switzerland that they won’t make it back to Iran if they close the Strait of Hormuz while Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu bombs Lebanon.
According to Fox News, Trump says he spoke with Iranian officials and told them, "You close the Strait of Hormuz and you won't have a country." He also told them, "You won't even make it back to your fucking country."
Despite this claim Iran has closed the Strait of Hormu adding that the ceasefire agreement must be respected by both the US and State of Israel.
Ghalibaf has said the US should be careful with its statements, warning that Iran’s armed forces are "ready to respond".
Tehran dismissed claims that an agreement has been reached with the United States on reducing its enriched uranium stockpile, insisting that nuclear issues are not part of the current round of talks and will not be discussed until Washington fulfills key obligations under the memorandum of understanding.
Iran's Fars reported that Tehran insisted that implementation of commitments related to Lebanon, sanctions relief, maritime restrictions, and frozen Iranian assets must come first.
Iranian officials also stated that IAEA Director Rafael Grossi has no role in the ongoing negotiations.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Sunday that $6 billion frozen assets in Qatar will be returned to Tehran as part of a preliminary deal between Iran and the US. “With the start of the negotiations from today, the $6 billion we have in Qatar will also be unfrozen and returned to our country,” Pezeshkian said in statements carried by the state broadcaster IRIB.
Trump warned Iran of new powerful strikes over the situation in Lebanon. "Iran must immediately stop their highly paid proxies in Lebanon from causing trouble"
