Iran president to Trump: I will not negotiate, ‘do whatever the hell you want’
Iranian presidential candidate Masoud Pezeshkian has stated that Iran will not negotiate with the United States under threats, responding to Donald Trump's pressure tactics by saying, "Do whatever the hell you want." This firm stance reflects Iran's unwillingness to engage in talks while facing external coercion.
Pezeshkian's remarks follow Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's assertion that Iran will not be bullied into negotiations. Trump has expressed openness to a deal but has also reinstated a "maximum pressure" campaign aimed at isolating Iran economically and curbing its oil exports, suggesting that the alternative to a deal is military action to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
