AIMohsen Rezaee, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, has denied that his country intends to enter negotiations with Washington, stressing that Tehran will not engage in any dialogue before its conditions are fulfilled.
In a post on X following remarks by US President Donald Trump—who claimed Iran is eager to negotiate and reach a deal with Washington—Rezaee stated, "There will be no negotiations unless Iran’s conditions are met."
Rezaee added: "Do not be distracted by Trump’s contradictory signals, from saying ‘we will not negotiate’ to ‘we are ready for dialogue.’"
He went on to say that "the equations related to oil and the straits have changed," warning that attempts to contain and control the current developments "will not prevent what is coming."

Yesterday, US President Donald Trump indicated that Iran is seeking to strike a deal quickly and at any cost. In a post on Truth Social, he wrote, "I will decide whether the United States chooses to engage in this or not, and that remains an option we are open to."
Trump added that prices in the United States are falling sharply, except for oil prices, which are temporarily high. He predicted that oil prices would drop significantly once the military conflict with Iran ends, asserting that "it will not take long."
Trump also noted that oil continues to flow through the Strait of Hormuz, calling on countries that, according to him, have provided little assistance to the US during the conflict to compensate Washington for its efforts.
