Harsh message from Iran to the US: We will not be left in a state of neither war nor peace

Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said a deal with the United States depends on Washington accepting seven conditions set by Tehran, and announced the opening of a new underground missile facility. He warned that if the U.S. “makes a mistake again,” Iran’s armed forces will determine the geography of any war, adding that Tehran will not be left “neither at war nor at peace.” The remarks signal that diplomatic engagement remains conditional and that Iran is pairing negotiations with military signaling.
