Zarif to US: Threats won’t work with Iran, try respect
Tehran (KNA) - Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says Iran will never give in to external pressure, advising US officials to stop threatening the Iranian nation and learn how to respect it instead.
Speaking in Tehran on Monday, Zarif said Washington's attempt to pressure Tehran into negotiations is a direct result of the many defeats that it has conceded to Iran both in the region and on the international scene.
"We will never succumb to international pressure, and together with the people of the world, we will force them to only treat Iran with respect and never threaten an Iranian," Zarif said at an event on the occasion of the national industry and mine day.
He said the US has tried every possible means to weaken Iran and now turned into economic pressure as the last resort.
