A military spokesperson in Iran has strongly criticized Washington, stating that the United States is “negotiating with themselves,” according to remarks reported by state media. This statement comes after US President Donald Trump’s claims that Iran was seeking to reach an agreement to end the war in the Middle East.
Reported by numerous media outlets, the US administration is said to have drafted a 15-point plan aimed at ending the conflict, which was transmitted to Iranian authorities. However, Iran’s response was far from conciliatory. Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesperson for the central Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, dismissed American initiatives as a “domestic struggle” within Washington and asserted that a compromise between the two camps was impossible in the current state.
In the same address, the military official also warned against any expectations of returning to economic normalcy. He stated that American investments and pre-war energy price levels would not be restored until the United States recognized that regional stability relies on the Iranian armed forces.
These statements highlight the ongoing divide between the two countries, despite diplomatic initiatives being discussed behind the scenes to try to end hostilities.
