Iran President Says Peace Talks Will only Succeed without 'Pressure, Threats'
Masoud Pezeshkian said dialogue can succeed only with mutual respect as the war remains at a stalemate, and Washington has not struck Iran since Sept. 1.
- On Friday at a Commonwealth of Independent States summit in Turkmenistan, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared peace negotiations must succeed without "pressure and threats," describing coerced talks as "imposition and coercion."
- The conflict between Iran and the United States, alongside Israel, began in late February; a June memorandum of understanding collapsed after Iranian attacks on vessels in the Hormuz Strait prompted resumed military operations.
- Pezeshkian stated on Monday that recent discussions with the United States were worthless and only resulted in renewed attacks. The United States and Israel maintain the war is necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, a goal Tehran has long denied pursuing.
- Washington has shifted from military action to economic pressure in recent weeks, refraining from strikes against Iran since September 1 while maintaining a counterblockade of Iranian ports and targeting vessels accused of violating restrictions.
- Diplomatic channels remain blocked as the seven-month conflict stays locked in stalemate, with recent indirect negotiations on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly failing to produce a breakthrough over control of the Hormuz and Strait.
