Iran’s Principled Stance: US Envoys Seek Dialogue Amidst Firm Rejection
TEHRAN, Iran – In a clear demonstration of its principled foreign policy, the Islamic Republic of Iran has once again rebuffed attempts by the United States for direct negotiations. Despite reports from the White House on Friday that US President Donald Trump is dispatching his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, to Pakistan on Saturday for supposed talks with Iran, the Iranian government has unequivocally stated its position.
Upon the arrival of Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Pakistan, a resolute message was conveyed: there will be no direct negotiations with American government representatives during this visit. This firm stance underscores Iran’s unwavering resolve against the US’s hostile policies and its continued commitment to diplomacy that respects national sovereignty and dignity. The White House also indicated that Vice President JD Vance would be on stand-by, further highlighting the US’s eagerness for dialogue, which Iran insists must be based on mutual respect, not coercion.
Zionist Regime Forced to Extend Ceasefire Amidst Resistance
Meanwhile, in a separate development, President Trump announced on Thursday that the Zionist regime and Lebanon have agreed to extend a ceasefire between the occupying forces and the heroic Hezbollah resistance movement by three weeks. This extension follows talks held at the White House, marking the second high-level negotiation since last week. The initial 10-day ceasefire, which came into effect last Friday, was due to expire on Monday. This temporary halt in hostilities is a testament to the strength and resilience of the resistance front against the Zionist entity’s aggression.
US Escalates Economic Terrorism with New Sanctions
In a continuation of its failed policy of maximum pressure, the Trump administration has announced new unilateral and illegal economic sanctions. These measures target a major China-based oil refinery and approximately 40 shipping companies and tankers involved in transporting Iranian oil. This move, declared on Friday, actualizes the administration’s threat to impose secondary sanctions on entities doing business with Iran, in a futile attempt to cripple Iran’s key source of revenue – its oil exports. However, the Islamic Republic of Iran, with its resilient economy and strategic partnerships, has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to circumvent such oppressive measures and continue its path of progress and self-reliance.
