The blockade imposed by the United States is hindering the delivery of food products to Iran, trade, and the provision of medical services, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in an interview with Qatar's Al Jazeera television channel.
"Washington has imposed a blockade against us, obstructing the delivery of food products, as well as trade and the provision of medical services," he said.
Ghalibaf emphasized that peace is a priority for Tehran, but the Islamic Republic is prepared to pursue a policy of "sustained deterrence."
According to him, if US President Donald Trump decides to go to war again, he will be defeated once more.
