Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that any potential dialogue or negotiation with the United States does not mean surrender. In a message posted on social media platform X on Sunday, he warned that Iran would not bow to pressure. Pezeshkian emphasized that the purpose of any talks would be to protect the rights of the Iranian nation and uphold national interests.

Members of Iran’s parliament echoed similar sentiments. Ibrahim Rezaei of the parliamentary security committee said that time was turning against the United States and urged Washington not to sink deeper into difficulties. Deputy Speaker Nikshad added that the US was testing its fate against a strong Iran and must accept the consequences.

According to the report, Iran has given a limited response to the latest US proposal, which was sent through Pakistan’s mediation. The proposed framework reportedly focuses on achieving a ceasefire and reducing regional conflict, though details of the discussions have not yet been disclosed.
