Ebrahim Rezaei, a member of the National Security Commission of the Iranian parliament, said Americans “either must submit to our diplomats, or must submit to Iran’s missiles,” and the Islamic Republic has no other offer for them.

ISNA news agency reported on Sunday, 12 Mehr, that Rezaei, in response to a question about the demands of the United States for a deal with the Islamic Republic, said Tehran will not back down from its conditions in front of Washington and that “this resistance of ours will continue.”

Rezaei also told ISNA news agency’s counterpart, Daneshjo, that the defense capabilities of the Islamic Republic as of 9 Esfand have “improved a great deal,” and that in the field of air defense and offense for the enemy, it has “astonishing” capabilities.

He added that the Islamic Republic has not linked its decisions to the elections in the United States and has prepared itself for “the worst scenarios,” and if another war were to occur, it would inflict “more devastating” strikes on the enemy.
