DUBAI, June 8 (Reuters) – Tehran will turn the naval blockade established by the United States into another defeat for the “enemy”, Iran’s top negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said in a message posted on his Telegram channel on Monday.
“We are not going to either just fight or just negotiate; rather, we are going to fight at our own time and negotiate at our own time”, Qalibaf said, adding, “our goal is the end of the war and stable security and we have no trust towards the opposing party”.
