- Trump called Iran's reply to the U.S. ceasefire offer totally unacceptable and accused Iran of playing games internationally.
- Iran's demands include ending hostilities across all fronts, lifting U.S. sanctions, removing port blockades, and unfreezing assets.
- Negotiations are currently focused solely on halting regional conflict, according to an Iranian source familiar with talks.
- Despite a tenuous ceasefire agreed last month, drone incidents have persisted in Kuwait, UAE, and Iran.
We will never bow our heads before the enemy, and if talk of dialogue or negotiation arises, it does not mean surrender or retreat.— Online post on Sunday by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian; he said the goal was to uphold Iran's rights and national interests.
