Iran has no intention of conducting negotiations with the United States, according to the official position of the Islamic Republic.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that this statement was made by Mohammad Mokhber, an aide to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. He addressed the matter during an interview with IRIB News.
Mokhber explicitly emphasized that Iran "does not trust the US." He further noted that military operations could continue as long as necessary, drawing a parallel to the eight-year war with Iraq in the 1980s. The aide's remarks underscore Tehran's firm stance against diplomatic engagement with Washington under current conditions.
Relations between Tehran and Washington have remained strained for decades, characterized by economic sanctions and geopolitical competition in the Middle East. This latest refusal to negotiate comes amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing disputes regarding Iran's nuclear program and defense capabilities. Historically, Iranian leadership has maintained a policy of strategic patience and resistance, often citing the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war as a symbol of national endurance against external pressures.
