Iranian Parliament Speaker and Chief Negotiator Ali Larijani stated that Iran does not trust the United States, and that Iran's armed forces remain on full combat readiness because fighting could restart at any moment. "We do not trust the enemy. Even as we sit here now, war could break out — the armed forces are fully prepared for the battlefield," Larijani said in a speech broadcast on Iran's national television on Sunday morning. Although Iran is actively negotiating with the United States to reach a permanent ceasefire agreement, he indicated that if the enemy "makes a mistake," Iran is prepared to respond at any time.
