Iranian Official Signals Readiness Amidst Stalled Negotiations with U.S. Tehran – Iranian Speaker of Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated on Monday that Iran is “prepared for any option” as ongoing negotiations with the United States remain unresolved. The comments, relayed through social media according to Telegrafi, followed a period of stalled discussions.
Ghalibaf emphasized the readiness of Iran’s armed forces, asserting they are “prepared to give a response that teaches a lesson to any aggression.” He further indicated a strategy of miscalculation would inevitably lead to negative outcomes, referencing a perceived understanding within the international community. The Iranian official added, “We are prepared for any option. They will be surprised.” This statement comes amidst continued tensions surrounding the withdrawal of U.S.
forces from Afghanistan and the subsequent relationship with the Kurdish region. Ghalibaf previously served as the lead negotiator in talks with the U.S. last month in Islamabad, Pakistan.
His remarks have drawn criticism from hardline Iranian factions. Furthermore, former U.S. President Donald Trump recently expressed disappointment regarding the handling of the situation by the United States concerning the Kurds.
Iran remains “prepared” for “any” scenario, signaling a resolute stance as negotiations continue.
