Iran's President, Masoud Pezeshkian, expressed doubts about the United States' readiness for negotiations, accusing President Trump of undermining diplomatic efforts with new sanctions aimed at weakening the Iranian revolution.
Pezeshkian criticized U.S. actions, saying President Donald Trump’s claims of seeking negotiations were undermined by his policies. "Trump announces that he wants to negotiate, but then at the same spot he signs and declares any possible conspiracy to bring this revolution to its knees," Pezeshkian told a large crowd of supporters in Tehran.
The sanctions, which aim to curb Iran's nuclear program and prevent its oil exports, are a central part of Washington’s strategy. Trump has stated that the U.S. has the right to block Iran’s oil supplies to other countries, further intensifying the economic pressure on the Islamic Republic.
During the rally, Pezeshkian also responded to accusations from the U.S. that Iran is destabilizing the Middle East. "They claim Iran has destabilized the region, whereas it’s Israel that has been bombing the oppressed people of Gaza, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and any other place they want in the region, with the support from the United States," Pezeshkian said, drawing a stark contrast between Iran's actions and those of Israel.
As the crowd waved Iranian and Palestinian flags, Pezeshkian condemned the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, which occurred in Tehran shortly after he took office. "We will never yield to foreigners," he declared, adding that Iran is not seeking war but will resist any efforts to divide the country. "They were the ones who assassinated Ismail Haniyeh in our country, in Tehran, the first day I assumed power. Because they are afraid of a united Iran. They are seeking to divide us. They are seeking conflict and fight."
Pezeshkian’s speech highlighted the defiance of the Iranian people, with the president reaffirming that, despite the U.S. sanctions and ongoing pressure, Iran remains steadfast in its resistance.
