Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a public statement rejecting the United States' influence over the nation’s security decisions, asserting that the timing of war and peace is not for Washington to determine. This declaration follows claims by former U.S. President Donald Trump that the Islamic Republic had requested negotiations to resolve ongoing tensions.
The statement comes amid broader international efforts by mediators attempting to revive the collapsed interim nuclear deal. By challenging the U.S. narrative regarding potential talks, Tehran is signaling its refusal to be pressured into a diplomatic timeline dictated by American leadership, maintaining a firm stance on its sovereign authority regarding regional conflict and international agreements.
