Iran’s top negotiator threatens U.S. targets over Lebanon escalation

Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, threatened U.S. bases and Israeli assets in West Asia as legitimate targets. This statement, made on X, follows a U.S. naval blockade of Iran and perceived U.S. approval for Israeli attacks in Lebanon, specifically targeting strongholds of Iran's ally Hezbollah. Qalibaf accused the U.S. and Israel of not adhering to ceasefires or dialogue, understanding only the language of power.
