Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said Tehran is prepared for either negotiations or war with the US, warning that any further American military action would trigger a response whose geographical scope would be determined by Iranian forces.
"It doesn't matter to us at all whether America wants to negotiate or go to war," Ghalibaf said.
He added that the path to an agreement remains open if Washington accepts Iran's seven conditions, which he described as "logical".
Ghalibaf warned that if the US "makes a mistake this time", Iranian forces would determine the geographical scope of the ensuing conflict.
"We will not remain in a situation of neither war nor peace," he added.
His remarks underscore Tehran's rejection of prolonged uncertainty between military confrontation and diplomatic negotiations, as tensions between Iran and the US continue.
