Iran’s Defence Ministry spokesman Reza Talaei-Nik has said that Washington’s failure to comply with Iran’s “rights” as a country will lead to “more defeats” for US President Donald Trump, Al Jazeera reports.

“The only way out of the third imposed war for the American-Zionist enemy, on both the battlefield and in diplomacy, is to secure the demands of the Iranian people,” Talaei-Nik told the Tasnim news agency.

“While accepting Iran’s proposal, Trump should also be mindful of preventing further losses and costs in the continuation of the war for the American people and the international community,” he added.
