Iran says the US should not use threatening language.
Iran's adversaries cannot use 'threatening language' when speaking to the country, says the speaker of the Iranian parliament during a meeting with heads of Iranian diplomatic missions abroad.
247, with HispanTV - "Iran's development in the missile sector has been significant and valuable, insofar as enemies know that they cannot speak to Iran with the language of threat and war," said Ali Lariyani, president of Iran's Islamic Consultative Assembly, the country's parliament, on Sunday (22).
In statements made during a meeting in Tehran, the Iranian capital, with the heads of Iran's diplomatic missions abroad, Lariyani highlighted the Islamic Republic's high defensive capacity, which protects it from threats.
Lariyani also referred to the United States' unilateral withdrawal from the nuclear agreement with Iran, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — as a measure aligned with Washington's previous violations of the agreement, while "Iran had been fulfilling its commitments from the beginning" in this regard.
With such measures in the international sphere, Lariyani emphasized, Washington has led the world into a "period of ignorance." "The US behaves ignorantly towards Iran, just as it does towards many other countries," he lamented.
Referring to the circumstances created by the US withdrawal from the multinational agreement on the Iranian nuclear energy program and the measures that European countries could adopt in this regard, the president of the Iranian Legislative Power urged Europe not to make "generalizations" about decisions regarding banking and oil relations.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, for his part, met separately on Sunday with the heads of Iran's diplomatic missions abroad, warning of the anti-Iranian policies of the US administration under President Donald Trump, and cautioned that a war with Iran would be the mother of all wars.
