As US-Iran negotiations continue, tensions between the parties are rising once again. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf made a notable statement following US President Donald Trump's claim that Iran shot down a US military attack helicopter that crashed near the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.
Ghalibaf said, "We prefer the language of diplomacy, but we speak other languages much more fluently. If you do not keep your promises, we will switch to the language we speak best. You ride the horse you saddle."
Trump had said, "The US must respond to this attack"
In his statement regarding the downed helicopter, US President Donald Trump noted that he had been briefed by the US military on the matter, stating, "Last night, the Iranians shot down our highly advanced Apache helicopter patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. There were two pilots on board. Both are safe and did not sustain any injuries."
Trump argued that the US military must launch an attack against Iran, saying, "The US must respond to this attack."
