Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf states the US "entered a quagmire" due to its "miscalculations" and cannot force Iran to submit. Ghalibaf, who is also Iran's top negotiator, said the US is wrong to believe it can force Iran to submit "by using media pressure tactics or military threats," adding that Iran is an "impregnable fortress of self-belief, defensive might, and iron-clad resolve."
