They would have stayed behind.

Iran’s Ghalibaf:

If the United States wants to find a way out, the only path is to decide to earn the trust of the Iranian people.

You are indebted to the Iranian nation and still have much to do to make amends.

If you choose war, we will fight; if you come with logic, we will respond with logic.

We will not submit to any threats. If they test our will again, we will give them a greater lesson.

Iran’s Ghalibaf:

Threats have no effect on the Iranian nation. We have proven that this is not a slogan—the world has seen it with its own eyes.

We have shown that the enemy has reached a state of desperation. We have proven that we do not surrender under threats.

Over 47 years of the revolution, in military arenas, economic sanctions, political pressure, and more, the Iranian people have demonstrated this in practice.

Iran’s Ghalibaf:

If the Americans test our will again, we will give them an even bigger lesson.
