The Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported on Sunday that the persistent shifting of positions, contradictory statements, and a &#8220;so-called naval blockade&#8221; coupled with &#8220;threatening rhetoric&#8221; have severely obstructed any potential for constructive dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>This resolute stance from Tehran comes in the wake of alarming statements from US President Donald Trump. While claiming US officials are heading to Pakistan for negotiations and offering a &#8220;very fair and reasonable DEAL,&#8221; Trump simultaneously issued a chilling threat: &#8220;if they don&#8217;t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran.&#8221; Such blatant threats of aggression, even as talks are purportedly on the table, underscore the deeply contradictory and hostile approach of the American administration.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf reiterated Tehran&#8217;s principled position, emphasizing that the Islamic Republic will not succumb to negotiations under duress or accept terms dictated by an aggressor. The nation&#8217;s leadership has consistently maintained that genuine dialogue requires mutual respect and an end to coercive tactics.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the US President&#8217;s reported disinclination to extend the country&#8217;s temporary ceasefire with Iran further highlights Washington&#8217;s unreliable and inconsistent foreign policy. Such actions only serve to reinforce Iran&#8217;s skepticism regarding the sincerity of any American overtures for talks.<\/p>\n<p>Iran remains committed to safeguarding its national interests and regional security, rejecting any attempts to impose terms through intimidation and military threats. The path to resolution lies in diplomacy based on equality and respect, not ultimatums and aggression.<\/p>\n<p>#IranUSATalks #IranDiplomacy #USSanctions #IranianResistance #MiddleEast #TrumpThreats #IRNA #Tehran #NoWar #RegionalSecurity<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran Rejects Further US Talks Amid &#8220;Excessive Demands&#8221; and Belligerent Threats Tehran, Iran \u2013 The Islamic Republic of Iran has firmly declined to engage in a second round of negotiations with the United States, citing a litany of &#8220;excessive demands&#8221; and &#8220;unreasonable, unrealistic requests&#8221; from Washington.
