Ahmad Bahshaish Ardestani, a member of the National Security Committee of the Majles, told the ISNA news agency on Monday, November 2, that the US brought this amount of weapons, destroyers, aircraft carriers and refueling planes to the region, it cannot be just a show of force. Kashish continued: "They want to bring Iran to the negotiating table with military threats, and if Iran does not accept, they may launch a high-powered attack in a limited time." This MP added that the situation of "neither war nor peace" and "neither war nor negotiations" has become a tangle of confusion that no one is happy with. Bahshaish added: "It is not desirable for the Islamic Republic to go to war with the US, nor will it be possible to negotiate and agree, and at the same time, the spirit and soul of the people are under pressure with sea, air and land blockades, economic pressures and psychological propaganda."
