Iranian defence spokesperson: US can no longer dictate terms to other states

A spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Defence has said the United States is no longer in a position to impose its demands on other countries, claiming that this shift is recognized internationally.

General Reza Talaei-Nik, speaking to Iran’s Tasnim news agency, said that Washington’s ability to dictate policy to independent states had diminished, a development he attributed to what he described as the resilience of the Iranian people and armed forces.

He said the situation had become apparent worldwide and argued that the United States would ultimately have to abandon what he characterised as “illegal and unreasonable” demands in its foreign policy approach.

Talaei-Nik also referred to the United States and Israel as “symbols of state terrorism,” according to the report.
