As the negotiations between the United States and Iran continue through the mediation of Pakistan, Ghalibaf in a post on X (formerly Twitter) said, “There is no alternative but to accept the rights of the Iranian people as laid out in the 14-point proposal.”
“Any other approach will be completely inconclusive; nothing but one failure after another,” he added.
Ghalibaf also said that the longer the US “drag their feet” during the conflict, the more “American taxpayers will pay” for it.
Ghalibaf’s remarks come after he issued a threat that Iranian military is “ready” for any kinds of further attacks.

“We are prepared for all options; they will be surprised,” he added.
