As a statement from Iranian leadership, it reflects the official government stance and may downplay any potential for negotiation.

Masoud Pezeshkian, the President of Iran, stated, "Negotiating with an enemy that engages in assassination, sanctions, pressure, and threats every day, and is a violator of agreements, makes no sense, and our nation will not accept such an approach." Shortly after these remarks, Donald Trump told reporters that he "always welcomes direct negotiations with Iran." Trump also mentioned that the immediate withdrawal of all American bombers from the Fairford base in Britain was due to a "specific threat." He further stated, contrary to his Vice President, JD Vance, that he holds Iran responsible for the Flydubai flight accident.
