Qalibaf to Washington: Any Aggression Will Be Met with a Decisive Response
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf affirmed that all options are on the table.
Speaking at a seminar with economic activists, Qalibaf said, “We tell the Americans frankly and firmly, all options are on the table: equal diplomacy or a defense that will cause you regret.”
He added, “If you choose diplomacy on an equal footing, we will sit with you at the negotiating table. But if your choice is deception and aggression, you will receive a decisive response from the Iranian people.”
Addressing US President Donald Trump, he said, “Do not analyze and make decisions based on false information,” indicating that Trump “relies on false information provided to him by traitors and the Israeli entity.”
He pointed out that “the enemies do not have a correct understanding of Iran and its people.”
He said, “Trump attacked Iran from behind the negotiating table, supporting the Israeli entity, and suffered a resounding defeat.”
He reiterated that “Iran has not and will not seek to acquire nuclear weapons.”
