On March 12, Ali Nikozadeh, deputy speaker of the Iranian Islamic Parliament, stated that after 40 days of war, the United States should have realized that victory or defeat is determined by the will of the people of each nation and superiority on the battlefield, not by empty talk on social media. He further stated that in these past few days, the United States will also understand that diplomacy is a stage for respect, interaction, and acceptance of reality, not a stage for issuing commands.
