The Speaker of the Shura Council said Chief Iranian negotiator Mohammed Baqir Qalibaf Tehran will respond forcefully to any attack it is exposed to, according to what was reported by local media, after the Revolutionary Guard announced that it was targeting Kuwait in response to American attacks.
The Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) quoted Qalibaf as saying: "Today, the Iranian people have shown in their battle with America and the Zionist entity that the time for directing gratuitous threats to Iran has passed, and that any aggression will be met with a decisive and equal response."
No progress in negotiations
He said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi On Wednesday, the communication channels with The United States is still open, but there has been no tangible progress in negotiations to end the war in the Middle East.
According to Al Arabiya, Tasnim Agency quoted Araghchi as saying: "Contacts with the Americans were not cut off, and messages were exchanged regarding the need to stop the aggression against Beirut, but no tangible progress was achieved in the negotiation process."
He explained that returning to the negotiating table is conditional on guaranteeing the rights of the Iranian people, ending the war in Lebanon, and stopping tensions in the region.
