Iran Stands Firm Against U.S. Negotiation Threats

President Masoud Pezeshkian has firmly stated that Iran will not enter negotiations with the United States while under threat. This stance was reported by Iranian state media, following a message to President Donald Trump that he can "do whatever the hell you want."

The Iranian position aligns with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's comment that Tehran refuses to yield to pressure, made clear after Trump sent a letter urging talks on a new nuclear deal. Iran remains defiant against perceived bullying.

Despite President Trump showing willingness for an agreement with Tehran, he continues to leverage the 'maximum pressure' strategy, a move to economically isolate Iran and curb its oil exports. This approach echoes his policies from his first presidency.
