Amidst the ongoing tension in the Middle East, while on one hand America is talking about ending the war, on the other hand Iran has heated up the atmosphere by responding in a very strong and sharp manner. A senior Iranian Army officer directly rejected US President Donald Trump’s claims and clearly said that there is no scope for any kind of agreement.
Lieutenant Colonel Ibrahim Zulfikari, spokesman for Iran’s ‘Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters’, said in a statement that Iran remains firm on its position and there is no possibility of talks with the US. He also sarcastically asked whether America’s internal situation has become so bad that it itself is talking about talks. He said that Iran’s stance has been clear from day one and will remain the same in future also.
Questions raised on Trump’s claims
US President Donald Trump had recently claimed that talks are going on between the two countries and a solution can be found soon. But this statement of the Iranian Army has raised questions on these claims. Zulfikari also said that the ‘strategic strength’ that America used to talk about has now turned into a big failure.
Targeted America in sharp words
Criticizing America, the Iranian official said that if it, which calls itself the world’s superpower, had a solution, the situation would have been under control by now. He warned America that mere rhetoric will do nothing and Iran will not make any compromise on the issue of its security and independence.
Diplomacy continues behind the scenes?
Although talks between the two countries are being publicly denied, but according to reports, efforts for back-channel talks are going on through some countries. Pakistan is also trying to play the role of mediator in this matter and has put forward a detailed plan before Iran, so that talks can be restarted between the two countries.
America’s military preparations intensified
Amidst the tension, America has also indicated to increase its military presence. There is news that America is increasing the deployment of thousands of its soldiers in the Middle East. Under this, there are preparations to send about 1,000 soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division. Apart from this, marine units are also being deployed, which may further increase military pressure in the area.
increased danger from attacks
In recent times, air strikes and missile attacks have made the situation more serious. While on one hand Iran has suffered huge losses, on the other hand in retaliation Iranian missiles and drones have targeted Israel and surrounding areas. The current situation indicates that instead of reducing, tensions may increase further. On one hand America is talking about talks, while on the other hand Iran is adopting a tough stance.
