Tensions in the Middle East remain unresolved, as the parties involved have so far failed to reach a final settlement to the ongoing dispute.
According to an international news agency, the failure of the United States and Iran to agree on a peace deal has led both sides to use increasingly harsh language against each other.
Iran has once again issued a strong message to the United States, saying that US President Donald Trump understands only the language of power.
The statement was made by Ebrahim Azizi, head of the National Security Committee of the Iranian Parliament. He said the United States’ decision to refrain from launching new attacks was the result of Iran’s military capability and national unity.
Trump’s hesitation is rooted in one reality: he knows any move against Iran means facing a decisive military response and a unified nation.
He obviously does not care about the mediation of the Persian Gulf state heads.
Power is the only language he understands!

In a statement posted on social media platform X, Azizi said President Trump’s hesitation to carry out new military attacks against Iran was based on one clear reality.
According to Azizi, President Trump knows well that any action against Iran would mean facing a decisive military response and a united nation.
President Trump had said a day earlier that the United States had postponed a planned attack on Iran to give diplomatic negotiations a chance.
Trump said he made the decision to delay the attacks at the request of the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, as there were possibilities of progress in negotiations.
It is worth noting that, in response to US and Israeli attacks, Iran has kept the Strait of Hormuz closed for two and a half months, leading to fuel shortages and a sharp rise in prices.
