Iran's Lead Negotiator Says Tehran Must Plan to Overcome 'Unjust' Sanctions

A senior Iranian official, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who leads the country's negotiations with the United States, has said Iran needs to develop a plan to overcome what he describes as "unjust sanctions."

Ghalibaf's remarks came after President Trump vowed to launch what he called an "economic D-Day" against Iran, signaling an intensified campaign of economic pressure.

Ghalibaf occupies a central role in relations between Iran and the United States, representing Tehran in talks with Washington over a dispute in which international sanctions — which have long weighed heavily on Iran's economy — remain a core issue.

No details have yet been made public about what specific measures Trump's promised "economic D-Day" might involve, nor is it clear when or in what format further talks between the two countries might take place.
