Iran judiciary chief warns US against buying time in talks to boost military presence

Head of Iran’s judiciary said on Sunday that Tehran has no hope or trust in the US and warned Washington against using negotiations to buy time while boosting military capabilities in the region.

“If the enemy wants, in the name of negotiations, to waste time and add to its military equipment and tools in the region, it is mistaken,” Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei said.

Mohseni-Ejei also said the enemy was seeking to tighten pressure on Iran through sanctions and economic isolation.

“We are in full readiness and will confront the enemy more firmly than in the 12-day war,” he added.
