TEHRAN (Dispatches) -- Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman says the United States must admit defeat and start respecting the Iranian nation instead of further humiliating itself. His remarks came after U.S. Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook claimed President Donald Trump’s "maximum pressure” policy is giving Iran a choice between negotiating or managing "economic collapse”. Abbas Mousavi said, "It is you who face a choice: either admit defeat and start respecting the Iranian Nation or further keep being hated, humiliating and isolating yourselves.”
