Iranian Speaker: Americans Are Betting Our Intelligence Is as Low as Theirs

According to The Times of Israel, Iranian chief negotiator and Parliament Speaker Karaki posted on social media platform X on Monday (20th) that Americans are sending new military equipment around Iran while claiming to seek an end to war, stating, 'They are betting our intelligence is as low as theirs.'

Karaki emphasized that Iran has become highly skilled at recognizing these American tactics and is fully prepared. He stressed, 'Actions should confirm statements, not contradict them.'

On the same day, Iranian President Pezeshkian stated that Iran is currently in a 'full-scale war,' adding, 'We must face reality and accept the inevitable consequences of this resistance.'

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei said on the 20th that Iran has received proposals from the U.S. and mediation parties regarding negotiations, though specific details were not disclosed.

U.S. Central Command announced on social media on the 19th that U.S. forces had completed another round of strikes against Iran that night. This marks the ninth consecutive night of U.S. military operations against Iran.
