MP says US has failed 'test of goodwill'

The United States has repeatedly failed to demonstrate genuine intent in talks, said Ali Hadadi, a member of parliament on the floor of Iran’s legislature on Sunday.

“The Americans are once again facing a test of will and sincerity, one they have failed many times,” he added.

Hadadi said that any assumption in Washington that pressure or threats could force Iran to capitulate was a “serious miscalculation.”

“Today, the Islamic Republic’s military strength and regional deterrence speak for themselves. The enemy knows our response will be crushing and regret-inducing.”
