Tehran (Web Desk): Iranian Parliament Speaker and head of the negotiation committee Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has issued a strong message to Washington, stating that Iran completely rejects any form of negotiations conducted under threats or pressure.

In his statement, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf strongly criticized the United States, saying that threats and dialogue cannot go hand in hand.

He also addressed US President Donald Trump, accusing him of attempting to turn the negotiating table into a “surrender platform,” and said such pressure-based policies would never succeed.

He emphasized that Iran only supports dialogue based on equality and mutual respect, and will not accept any form of coercion.

Ghalibaf said that the purpose of negotiations should be to resolve issues, not to impose the will of one side.

Political analysts say his remarks reflect Iran’s consistent stance that it will not bow to external pressure.

Tehran has made it clear that if Washington is serious about talks, it must first end its policy of threats and sanctions.
