By Elvan Kivilcim

The spokesman for Iran's armed forces delivered a defiant message, suggesting the U.S. was negotiating with itself to get out of a "strategic defeat." In comments relayed by state news agency IRNA, Ebrahim Zolfaghari scoffed at President Trump's announcement that the U.S. and Iran have been carrying on productive discussions to end the war. "Someone like us will never get along with someone like you. Not now, not ever," he said.

Addressing Americans, he said oil prices won't go back to where they were "until you understand that stability in the region is guaranteed" by Iran's army and "the thought of acting against the Iranian nation is completely wiped from your filthy minds." He said, "Have your internal conflicts reached the point of you negotiating with yourselves?"
