ABNA24 - Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei says Iran’s Armed Forces are fully prepared for any scenario, including a potential American ground attack.
Speaking in an interview with India's Republic TV late on Wednesday, the senior Iranian diplomat stated, “Whenever the Americans talk about diplomacy, everyone should view it with skepticism."
He addressed the US officials' claims of being engaged in indirect talks with Iranian authorities, asserting, "At present, there are absolutely no negotiations taking place between Iran and the United States."
"But one thing is clear: The messages we have received through mediators reflect their maximalist and unreasonable demands," the spokesman said.
Various reports have pointed to Washington's having repeated its previous demands from Tehran, including its abandonment of its peaceful nuclear energy activities and extreme curtailment of its missile defense program.
"That is why Iranians view these messages with deep suspicion. What we are doing now is ensuring that nothing distracts us from the sacred duty of defending our land and sovereignty,” Baghaei said.
