Majtaba Zar’ei, a member of the National Security Commission of the Parliament, said Donald Trump, the President of the United States, viewed his comments about not accepting the new proposal from the Islamic Republic as a sign that he is “not serious” in negotiations and trying to prepare for a surprise military attack.

Zar’ei wrote on X: “There is no surprise in Iran; Iran’s hands are on the trigger.” He added that any attack would face “harsher, broader, and more diverse” responses.
