Pars Today – Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister said that Donald Trump’s approach is essentially presenting “threats” as a “peace opportunity.”

According to Pars Today, citing IRIB News Agency, Kazem Gharibabadi, reacting to recent U.S. positions, stated that Washington claims it has “temporarily” halted attacks on Iran to allow space for negotiations, while simultaneously speaking of readiness for large-scale strikes at any moment.

He added that this approach is, in reality, the presentation of “threat” under the guise of a “peace opportunity.”

Gharibabadi stressed that Iran is fully united and decisively prepared to respond to any military aggression, stating: “For the Iranian nation, surrender has no meaning; either victory or martyrdom.”
