Qalibaf Warns the United States: No Miracle from Pressure on Iran
Iranian chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf sent a stern warning to U.S. officials, stating that the escalating pressure on Tehran will not yield any unexpected concessions.
Statement Details
In a post on X, Qalibaf wrote in English: "Americans think that increasing pressure on Iran will bring concessions that were never part of the deal at all." He added that this approach shows no "miracle" from the clowns, referring to what he called ineffective pressure.
Background
The remark comes amid rising tensions between Tehran and Washington over Iran's nuclear program and talks to revive the nuclear accord, with the U.S. intensifying sanctions to force policy changes.
Qalibaf insists the strategy has produced no tangible results, urging a reassessment of pressure tactics going forward.
