The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament attacks Basant's words and warns against an American strategic failure.
The words of the American Minister of Finance indicate a state of deep despair in the American leadership in the face of Iranian resilience, said the speaker of Iran's parliament, Mohammad Bakr Kalibaf.
According to him, a man who fled his home to military shelters out of fear of threats had better think about his strategic failures in the Persian Gulf.
Iran remains open to peace negotiations, but under seven conditions reached in the past, Kalibaf stated, adding that the Iranians will not tolerate the current situation of neither war nor peace.
Earlier, Scott Bessant said Iranians would face a long and cold winter and threatened to choke the country's economy.
