Iran says Washington no longer in position to ‘dictate’ policy to other nations

Iran says that the United States is no longer able to “dictate” what other countries do, as Washington weighs a new proposal from Tehran on ending the Middle East war.

The proposal suggests reopening the Strait of Hormuz while pushing off talks on Iran’s nuclear program to a later date.

“The United States is no longer in a position to dictate its policy to independent nations,” Iran’s defense ministry spokesman Reza Talaei-Nik says, according to state TV, adding Washington must “accept that it must abandon its illegal and irrational demands.”
