01 · THE DISPATCH

Mohammad Saleh Jokar, chairman of the Iranian parliament's interior committee, on Sunday dismissed President Donald Trump's threats as a sign of 'desperation before the Iranian nation' and warned that any further harm would be met with a 'firm response on the battlefield,' according to the source linked to Iranian news sources. Jokar's remarks add to a growing pattern of Iranian officials pushing back against Trump's rhetoric. As The Zioneer has reported, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Qalibaf, security chief Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, and other senior figures have similarly characterized U.S. threats as ineffective or desperate. The statement was carried by the source 'Iran News in Telegram,' which often disseminates official and semi-official Iranian statements. No further details were provided.
