Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, on Sunday dismissed US threats and said Iranian forces were fully prepared for any response, reacting to comments by US President Donald Trump during ongoing talks between Washington and Tehran in Switzerland.

In a statement posted on the social media platform X, Ghalibaf said US officials should be careful in their remarks and that Iran did not attach importance to American threats.

“America should think that if its threats had any effect, it would not be facing this disappointing situation today,” Ghalibaf said.

He added that Iran’s armed forces were ready for any kind of response.

The comments came after Trump took a hard line on Iran on Sunday, saying that if Tehran was not prepared to reach an agreement, the United States had various options available.
