Mohammad Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament and head of the negotiating delegation with the US: Iran gave a firm and measured response to the US. Now the ball is in Washington's court, and he must prevent war. At the same time, in the field and on the military level, we are at the highest level of defensive readiness. If Washington gets its strategic calculations wrong again, it should know that this time it will find itself in a new theater of war, and will be even more desperate than it is today to find an escape route.
