A top Iranian official has warned that the government is prepared for a long war with the US and signaled that it is willing to continue attacking Gulf countries in an effort to persuade them to convince Donald Trump to step back from the conflict.
The warning came in an exclusive CNN interview in Tehran with Kamal Kharazi, foreign policy adviser to the office of the Supreme Leader, who ruled out diplomacy for now and said the war would only end through economic pain – signaling a hardening of the government’s stance on day 10 of the conflict.
“I don’t see any room for diplomacy anymore. Because Donald Trump had been deceiving others and not keeping with his promises, and we experienced this in two times of negotiations – that while we were engaged in negotiation, they struck us,” Kharazi told CNN on Monday.
Edit:
The economic pain is on USA. and I don’t really see Iran having any other options than that and terrorism.
He is absolutely right, not even once! A deal with Trump is worthless.
Seriously. They were actively engaged in productive talks when the US just decided to kill everyone they were negotiating with. No one is going to come to the table anytime soon.
What makes you think so? Their MIC is doing just fine.
Sorry I misunderstood the headline at first, so I thought it was Iran that should be pressured economically to surrender.
I saw my mistake and have edited my post.
