'Don’t Test Us’: Iranian Ambassador to Britain Accuses U.S. of War Mongering
Although both U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei have both said they’re not seeking violence, “Don’t test us” was the message Hamid Baeidinejad delivered in the wake of escalating tensions in the region.
“While we have renounced any escalation in the region, I would assure you that Iranian armed forces are fully ready for any eventuality in the region, so they should not try to test the determination of Iran to confront any escalation in the region,” he told Sky News.
Baeidinejad said he believes President Donald Trump’s closest advisers, like national security adviser John Bolton, are the ones trying to pressure him into a confrontation that neither country wants.
The ambassador told Sky News his government did not believe Mr Trump was serious about threatening war and was not worried by comments to the contrary.
“I think part of this is theatrical manoeuvres by the US,” he said.
