'How can we start a dialogue with an administration who is threatening Iran?' asked Majid Takht Ravanchi.
"What they have been calling for is the submission—total submission—of Iran to the demands of the United States, which is unjust," Ravanchi added. The introduction and escalation of sanctions, he claimed,"is a war crime in our judgement."
Ravanchi admitted that American measures are affecting the country's economy and its people, but warned that Iran would stubbornly resist the U.S."The culture of Iranians does not accept intimidation, does not accept coercion, does not accept receiving pressure from anybody," he told Berman.
