Iran's top negotiator says US aiming to force Tehran's 'surrender'

Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said Wednesday that Washington was seeking Tehran's surrender through various means, including a naval blockade.

"The enemy, in its new design, is seeking, through a naval blockade, economic pressure and media manipulation, to destroy the country's cohesion in order to force us to surrender," Ghalibaf said in a voice message published on his official Telegram channel.
