Iran’s Zolfaghari disgaces US ceasefire attempts

An Iranian military spokesperson has mocked United States (US) attempts at a ceasefire deal, insisting Americans were only negotiating with themselves, according to Associated Press (AP), the Guardian reported.

Iran’s Lt. Col. Ebrahim Zolfaghari said on state television that the US’s strategic power had turned into “strategic failure”. These comments from Tehran came after US President Donald Trump sent a 15-point settlement proposal to Iran.

Additional remarks

The one claiming to be a global superpower would have already gotten out of this mess if it could. Don’t dress up your defeat as an agreement. Your era of empty promises has come to an end.

Have your internal conflicts reached the point where you are negotiating with yourselves?

Our first and last word has been the same from day one, and it will stay that way: Someone like us will never come to terms with someone like you,” Not now, not ever.
