🇮🇷🇺🇸| Iran’s Parliament Speaker, Ghalibaf, in reaction to Trump’s threats:

Do they not think to themselves that if their threats had achieved anything, they would not have reached today’s desperation? We do not take American threats seriously.

They had better be careful with their statements. Our armed forces are ready to respond to them in a different way. No matter how much they talk, we are the ones who act.

– So far, the topic of discussion at the first round of talks has been Lebanon.
