Iran's President Defies Trump's Negotiation Threats

In a strong statement, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian declared that he would not enter into negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump as long as threats continued to be issued. President Pezeshkian's remarks highlight ongoing tensions between the two nations over nuclear deal discussions.

State media quoted Pezeshkian expressing his unwillingness to engage under duress, saying, "I won't even negotiate with you under threats... do whatever the hell you want." This stance comes in response to a letter reportedly sent by President Trump to Iran's top authority, urging them to consider negotiating a nuclear agreement.

The exchanges underscore the heightened diplomatic standoff, as Pezeshkian's firm refusal reflects Iran's position in the face of external pressure. This creates further complications in the pursuit of a renewed nuclear deal, adding another layer of complexity to international relations.
