🇮🇷🤝🇺🇸- The Spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmaeil Baqaei, has posted on X regarding negotiations:

The concept of “negotiations” requires, at the very least, a genuine attempt to engage in discussions with a view to resolving the dispute (ICJ, Judgement of 1 April 2011, para. 157). It needs 'good faith', then, meaning that 'negotiations' is not 'disputation'; nor is it 'dictation', 'deception', 'extortion' or 'coercion'.

🇮🇷❌🇺🇸🇮🇱- Iranian Speaker of Parliament, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, in an audio message addressed to the Iranian people:

We do not underestimate the possibility of a military attack, especially terrorist attacks, but the part of the enemy's plan that relates to society is to weaken Iran from within.

The enemy has placed great hope on economic pressure, and it is clear that they have again been given false reports, based on which they have made wrong decisions, and these wrong decisions cause hardship for everyone.

Experts specializing in Iran admit that no matter how much economic pressure the Iranian nation faces, they endure the difficulties for the sake of their country's independence and dignity, and for their religion and beliefs.

The Iranian nation has a historical awareness and understands that in this sensitive region of Iran's history, they must stand against this criminal enemy at all costs; an enemy who, in its delusions, believed it could destroy Iranian civilization.
