Iran’s parliament speaker and head negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has dismissed US threats, saying Tehran is prepared to respond if necessary, Al Jazeera reports.

“Don’t they think to themselves that if their threats had any effect, they wouldn’t have reached the point of desperation they are in today? We don’t count on the American threats,” Ghalibaf has posted on X. “They [had] better be careful with their comments, our armed forces are ready to respond in a different way. Whatever they say, we are the ones who will act.”
