Iran has reaffirmed a hard-line stance against US pressure, highlighting renewed difficulties in negotiations.
Walter Bloomberg reported on April 20 that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran “does not bow to force.”
Pezeshkian said there is “deep historical distrust” toward the US and criticized recent messages from Washington as “contradictory and unconstructive.”
He added that meaningful negotiations require commitments to be honored, but argued the current US approach is being interpreted as “a signal demanding surrender.”
The remarks came as talks continue over the nuclear issue, sanctions and the Strait of Hormuz. They underscore that the gap between the two sides remains wide.
Markets are watching whether the hard-line comments could delay negotiations and prolong tensions. Whether talks resume and under what conditions remain key variables.
