TEHRAN (Agencies) -Iran’s Defence Ministry spokesman Reza Talaei-Nik has warned that the United States could face “more defeats” if it fails to recognise Iran’s rights, amid continuing tensions between Tehran and Washington.
According to remarks reported by Iranian media and cited by Al Jazeera, Talaei-Nik said the only solution for what he described as the “third imposed war” against Iran was for the United States and its allies to accept the demands of the Iranian people.
“The only way out of the third imposed war for the American-Zionist enemy, on both the battlefield and in diplomacy, is to secure the demands of the Iranian people,” Talaei-Nik said while speaking to Iran’s Tasnim news agency.
The Iranian official also directly addressed US President Donald Trump, urging Washington to reconsider its approach toward Tehran. He stated that accepting Iran’s proposals could help prevent further political and economic losses for the United States and the wider international community.
“While accepting Iran’s proposal, Trump should also be mindful of preventing further losses and costs in the continuation of the war for the American people and the international community,” he added.
